### AI overview

A tutorial explains how to recover MediaWiki administrator access after losing admin credentials. It describes resetting an administrator password through a database SQL query and raising another user's permissions.

### Source excerpt

Let say you have MediaWiki installation but you lost admin credentials. If you have other account or if you could create one without any rights we're in home 😉 We have few options to do this. Reset admin password We have to connect to database and use this SQL: UPDATE `user` SET user_password = CONCAT( SUBSTRING(user_password, 1, 3), SUBSTRING(MD5(user_name), 1, 8), ':', MD5(CONCAT(SUBSTRING(MD5(user_name), 1, 8), '-', MD5('new password')))) WHERE user_name = 'Admin'; Just replace Admin with your username and new password with your password.
