As you can read in the respective release notes (https://koha-community.org/koha-18-05-released/): "It is no longer possible to use the database user to login into Koha. You should first create a superlibrarian patron and use it for logging in."

Of course this can cause problems if you lose, delete or forget your password.

I hope you still have a backup file of your database - such backup files consist of proper SQL. For example to create a certain user the backup file will contain lines like this:

INSERT INTO `borrowers` VALUES (1,'1','Morlock','Demokrit','Herr','','','',NULL,'Baslerstrasse 445','','Allschwil','','4123','Schweiz','','','','','','','',NULL,'','','','','','','','','1970-01-01','GBA','S','2016-11-30','2025-03-02',NULL,0,0,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,'',NULL,'','$2a$08$dsPH1AD9y9llpQaE45sae.Wkfplp0a3P3GEllf0XKodDU3RR2Ue5e',1,'demo','','','','','','','','','','','','','',NULL,NULL,1,0,'inherit','2018-05-25 18:04:33',NULL,'default',0,NULL);

You should find such a line for your own original user with superlibrarian rights.

Using such a line you should be able to recreate a particular user via the SQL command line of Mysql/Mariadb. The shown hash here is as follows:

$2a$08$dsPH1AD9y9llpQaE45sae.Wkfplp0a3P3GEllf0XKodDU3RR2Ue5e

It will create a password "demo".

Maybe this is not the full solution (depending on what tables you have actually deleted) but it may be part of it. I haven't tried it myself but I hope this is of any help to you.

Best wishes: Michael
