Did you manage to lost your password? Worst, maybe you lost the Super Administrator password? And for some reason you can't use the retrieve lost password functionality of Joomla... If you use Joomla, if you forget your password you could just simply
click on the "Forgot password" menu, and the new password will be sent
to your email address. But what if you can't remember the exact e-mail adress, or you have a local, development version and did not have the mailer handy... or your Internet connection is down?
Here are some simple steps to help you gain access to your Joomla administrator page back. (Yea, let's hope you can access your database at least...)
- Login to your phpMyadmin, and select your Joomla database.
- Browse your Joomla users table.
- Then edit the your administrator password from the user list.
- Change the password in the "password" field into
"226776f356d7ecf58b60bab12a05d38f" (without quotes). Save the changes
you've made.
Now, you can login to your administrator account with "joomla" (without quotes) as the new password. Change it, ASAP, to something you can remember  .
