Manual:Resetting passwords/zh

在一些情况下，用户可能需要重置其密码. 例如，用户忘记了自己的密码，或是遇到某种可能会泄露其密码的安全漏洞. 大多数情况下，可以使用“通过邮件获得新密码”来重置密码.

对于忘记用户名或是无法查看邮箱的用户，可能需要管理员或系统管理员进行一些额外操作.

使用 Special:UserLogin
如果您知道自己账户的名称，则可以使用登陆界面上的“忘记密码”功能. To use the feature, visit the Special:UserLogin page for the relevant wiki, fill in the Username field of the form and press the ”Email new password" button. A temporary password, along with instructions on how to reset the account's password, will be sent to the email address associated with the username.

If one of their accounts that uses the same password is compromised, then suspicion can be thrown on the administrator.

Use Special:PasswordReset
Special:PasswordReset allows accounts with the 'editmyprivateinfo' permission to reset account passwords for the local installation of MediaWiki.

To use:


 * Type username you want to reset in box provided and click "Reset password"
 * An automatically generated password will be emailed to the user

For automatically inserting the username in links, use.

Direct database modification
To reset a password you can change the value of the  field inside the   table in your database. However, it's generally far easier and safer to use "Email new password" or use the changePassword.php script.

You should choose the according method depending on the value of  in.
