In the online MediaWiki sphere… lost password are recovered by email. No such thing can work here.
However, the issue was reported by many teachers (whose students lost their password and teachers were unhappy to have no way to either recover it, or force it reset).

@florentk Probably not what we need. The ticket means a Mediawiki admin - so through the Mediawiki web ui itself. Does https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Resetting_passwords/fr#Use_Special:PasswordReset not work?

@Anthere This sounds complicated to achieve as there is basically no Mediawiki extension or similar solution provided to do so :( We would need a special development.
