I'm setting up a Mediawiki installation and somehow got into a state where my password is not accepted. Since I hadn't yet gotten email configured, I tried to reset my password using the instructions at Manual:ChangePassword.php, but encountered this error:
PasswordError from line 62 of /var/www/mywiki/public_html/maintenance/changePassword.php: * The supplied credentials cannot be changed, as nothing would use them. * The authentication data change was not handled. Maybe no provider was configured? Backtrace: #0 /var/www/mywiki/public_html/maintenance/doMaintenance.php(111): ChangePassword->execute() #1 /var/www/mywiki/public_html/maintenance/changePassword.php(73): require_once(string) #2 {main}
Does anyone know how to go about diagnosing this, or what the cause might be? Any advice is greatly appreciated since at the moment I'm unable to administer my wiki. Thanks very much!
MediaWiki=1.29.1, PHP=7.0.22, MySQL=5.7.20.
