Help- changing ownership of wiki- change email and password?
The maintenance script changePassword.php will allow you change the password. Then you can log into the account and also change the email address.
But if your predecessor is Dbrown, you probably shouldn't use that account. I assume that's his real name. You should instead assign the sysop and bureaucrat rights to Dlilly, and then if necessary remove them from your predecessor. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a maintenance script for modifying rights of existing users, so you'd have to manually modify the user_groups table on your database.
Thanks for the information.
My apologies, but I am a completely clueless beginner.
How/where do I run this script? Where is the database for this wiki? Yes, I would like to remove rights from my predecessor, Dbrown and transfer them to me. Where do I access any of this information?
Thanks again for any help.
