I think the trick is to create your personal page as soon as you log in.
If you leave without one, it appears to be hard to get back in.

What I am doing is "Finding" your PersonalPage.  It doesn't exist, so
I create it with some dummy modification, then check that I can login as 
you and it has always worked (so far).

What is really happening I don't know.

There really is no password system enabled in our installation.  PhpWiki 
appears to support various password schemes but so far I can't make any 
of them work. When I do figure it out, I will go through and assign all
users a password and email it to you.
