+[[!meta title="How do I reset my password for MediaWiki?"]]
+The easiest way to avoid this problem is to set an e-mail address
+in your account, so you can use the “Mail me a new password”
+feature. However, if you find that you’ve forgotten the password to
+an account on your wiki, and you don’t have an e-mail address set
+for it, you can reset its password as follows:
+
+1.  Log in to [phpMyAdmin](http://sql.mit.edu/phpMyAdmin/) with
+    your [SQL password.](/faq/59/)
+2.  From the menu on the left, select the database corresponding to
+    your wiki, and select the “user” table within it.
+3.  Click “Browse” at the top, and note down the user ID for the
+    account whose password you want to reset. (This will be 1 for the
+    first account.)
+4.  Click “SQL” at the top, and run the following command,
+    replacing “uid” with the user ID and “newpassword” with the new
+    password for the account:
+5.  -   UPDATE user SET user\_password = MD5(CONCAT(user\_id, ‘-’,
+        MD5(’*newpassword*‘))) WHERE user\_id = *uid*
+
+
