Thread:Project:Support desk/Error message 1146 - Table 'mediawiki.user' doesn't exist

Product	Version MediaWiki 1.15.4 PHP5.3.0 (apache2handler) MySQL 5.1.36-community-log

Hi I am trying to reset admin password. I would appreciate any help, it is driving me nuts! I am not very good at this so complicated suggestion will not help me.

I attempted to reset admin password in SQL query:

UPDATE user SET user_password = MD5( CONCAT( user_id, '-', MD5( 'password' ) ) ) WHERE user_id =1

It returned the error message:

Error message #1146 - Table 'mediawiki.user' doesn't exist

I clicked on mw_user in left hand frame: There are two members in the table:

‘Admin’ = user ID = 1

‘Root’ = user ID = 2

Thank you
