If you are still using the old version (v5.6.1-c35575a00(2022-09-25) and previous versions), please switch to the English input method or upgrade to the latest version (minetest-5.6.1-edu-2d4c67fd6(2022- 10-15) and later releases).

      • Use /setpassword <name> <new password> [change password chat command](../guide/teacher/ingame-man/#password operation) to change the student's password to the reset password
   2. Method 2: Delete the auth.sqlite file in the worlds/default world directory, and clear all user passwords in this world

1. The basic idea of a minimal repro repo is to use the least amount of code and configuration to trigger missing or wrong behaviors. A minimal repo repo makes it easier for developers to see where bugs or missing functionality are, and to verify that new code meets requirements. ↩︎
