Hello,

You can reset the MediaWiki admin password from MediaWiki database associated with MediaWiki.
You need to connect the MediaWiki database through phpmyadmin or mysql-client. Once you are connected you need to run the following SQL query to change the admin password of MediaWiki.

Quote:
UPDATE user SET user_password = MD5( CONCAT( user_id, '-', MD5( 'NEWPASS' ) ) ) WHERE user_id =1
once the above complete, then you will able to login to MediaWiki with the new password.
