It can be really frustrating to forget your passwords. We can't always retrieve them.
However, there is a way to reset your Joomla admin password, and you do need some common knowledge of how joomla works and how databases operate.
Here is what you need:
- PHPmyadmin
- this code below
So what you will do is:
- Log into PHPmyadmin
- press SQL
- and paste in this code
UPDATE `jos_users` SET `password` = MD5( 'new password' ) WHERE `jos_users`.`username` = "admin";
If this doesn't work, try changing jos_users to mos_users.
Don't forget to replace 'new password' with what you want your new password to be.
Now you can login to your Joomla website using the new password!
