Locked out of DokuWiki on localhost

Question

I set up DokuWiki on localhost just to collect some notes.

Alas, I am locked out, can't remmember my password and sending a recovery email doesn't work.

Since I will only use this locally, I need only one user, with admin rights, and no password checking. Can that be done by manually editting the config files?

Perhaps [this DokuWiki forum link](https://forum.dokuwiki.org/thread/2778) may help. — Anaksunaman, Sep 15 '19 at 18:43
Thnaks, I had already found it, but it didn't help me. Rereading it, I find that the answer by `dude` does work! Please post this as an answer, and I wil accept it. — Mawg says reinstate Monica, Sep 16 '19 at 07:10

According to this DokuWiki forum thread, you should be able to reset the password to DokuWiki by changing users.auth.php.

For the current stable version of DokuWiki (2018-04-22b "Greebo"), this file is located under the conf folder.

To reset the password, replace any existing admin login with:

admin:$1$4fd0ad31$.cId7p1uxI4a.RcrH81On0:DokuWiki Administrator:mail@host.com:admin,user

Then log in with the username admin and password admin.
