changeing user password

posts: 46 Norway

A user has forgotten his password and I need to give him a new one.

I do not have the opportunity to use an email reminder (server doesn't send email). In the admin area I need to give the old password to change to a new one....

I tried changing the provpass in Users_users as described here on a dummie user but it doesn't work. My dummie user has its original password.
Any ideas?

Hi Rachael,
if I remember right the cleanest way is described in the Tiki Admin FAQ (or another one).

Hi Rachael, Chealer9 is on the button with this one.

I tried it and (whew) it worked!

Hey Chealer9, I was struggling to find this answer myself. I was stumped! I disliked the notion of having to ask a user to create a new account. But all my attempts even in the DB failed!
Thanks, James
