Hi there,

Quick question: are you using PHP 7.3? If so (as mentioned in your [GH issue](https://github.com/mautic/mautic/issues/8219)), it’s not actually supported yet.]

In terms of resetting the password in the database, you should be able to just edit the user in the appropriate table, and replace the password hash with one you know (e.g. from a localhost environment) as far as I am aware.

7.3 is supported now in 2.16 correct?
