Thread:Project:Support desk/lost admin password

The admin password for our wiki has been lost. Because I can only login as a user, the "Special:" options are not available.

While I have access to the wiki db via phpmyadmin, the user_options and ur_rights fields are binary, so making edits is not an option.

How do I go about either retrieving the admin password, or creating a new admin?

No idea which version of Wiki we're running. Also, the admin settings is still named AdminSettings.sample.
