My first written report on how to reset your Joomla
website backend admin password (if you forget it, of course).
Download it for free below.

We all now how easy it is to forget
and what a hazzle it is to resolve
if you forget a vital password.
Well, hopefully not anymore then it comes to Joomla.

Please, share it in your blogs, membership sites, forums, newsletters,
email signups, and every place you may feel to.
But, do not sell it.
That's all I ask for.

So does it make any sense that I have written...?
Curious to know.

    Joomla's admin username can be easily changed with a simple MySQL query. The most convenient way to manage the database is through the phpMyAdmin tool. Go to your cPaneland click on phpMyAdmin in the Databases box. (If you are not using cPanel or do not have phpMyAdmin, you can run the query directly for Joomla's database.)

    Once in the phpMyAdmin select the Joomla database from the drop-down menu at left. The page will refresh and the database's tables will be displayed on it. Open the SQL tab (look at the top navigation bar).

    In the text field write the following SQL query:

    UPDATE `jos_users` SET `password` = MD5( 'new_password' ) WHERE `jos_users`.`username` = "admin" ;

    "new_password" - replace this with the new password you wish to use.
    "admin" - replace this if your admin username is different.

    Once you are ready, click on the GO button to submit the query. If everything goes fine without errors, you should be able to login to Joomla with the new password.
