To reset root or admin password of wiki use following steps:
# Comment all $wgAuth settings in LocalSettings.php so that wiki only uses local authentication.
# Connect to wiki database by looking at database configuration in LocalSettings.php
# Look at user_groups table and find user_id of user who is member of bureaucrat and sysop.  Look at username of the user with this id in user table.
# Use:
#:<pre>
#::     php maintenance/changePassword.php --user=<username> --password=<new_password>
#:</pre>
#:: where &lt;new_password&gt; must be at least 8 characters long, eg, admin123.
# Again uncomment $wgAuth lines in LocalSettings.php.  Note that for local login select "Your domain" as local
