Our FAQ: How do I change the Super User’s password when password recovery emails are not sent? needs to be updated with a new procedure for Piwik 3, since we do not use hashed md5 anymore.

Follows up #10740 #10926 #5728

@mneudert maybe you have some idea how we could update the FAQ to work with Piwik 3+ ?

The most simple advise would probably a oneliner:

php -r 'echo password_hash(md5("changeMe"), PASSWORD_DEFAULT);'

But if one has access to the database he might also be able to copy the reset password over from the [username]_reset_password_info option. If that key got written it should be valid and ready for use.
