− | You need to log in to the database directly. Then obtain the user's id as in the following example (alternatively, go to [[Special:Userlist]] and get the id from there):
| |
− | {{code|<mysql>
| |
− | SELECT user_id FROM prefix_user WHERE user_name='user';
| |
− | </mysql>
| |
− | }}
| |
− | Then and apply the query shown in the following example to set the password for that user id (here the user id is 2222):
| |
− | {code|<mysql>
| |
− | UPDATE prefix_user SET user_password=md5(CONCAT('2222-',md5('newpassword'))) WHERE user_id=2222;
| |
− | </mysql>
