− | You need to log in to the database directly. First 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='WikiSysop';
| |
− | </mysql>
| |
− | }}
| |
− | Then apply the query shown in the following example to set the password for that user id (here the '''WikiSysop''' user id is 1):
| |
− | Note that the password is a nested concatenation of both the md5 of the user_id combined with the md5 password.
| |
− | {code|<mysql>
| |
− | UPDATE prefix_user
| |
− | SET user_password=md5(CONCAT('1-',md5('newpassword')))
| |
− | WHERE user_id=1;
| |
− | </mysql>
| |
