How to change multiple fe_user passwords in TYPO3 6.2?

I want to reset the password for 46 fe_users, but when I just update the field "password" I can see the actual password in the columns instead some encoded value...
UPDATE "fe_users" SET PASSWORD="test" WHERE pid=53
I want it to look like the entry above "test".
password
It makes sense to me that my approach doesn't work but I can't figure out what else I could try...anyone an idea? In the backend records page I only know how to change a password one by one.

Solution

  • Use BE-modul Scheduler (install EXT:scheduler if not already installed). Select Class Convert user passwords to salted hashes and run this task, once.

    Description from this task: Update all frontend and backend user passwords to salted hashes. This task deactivates itself when completed.
