Im doing a site for a customer and usually i have all of my joomla templates made with the same admin password, but this time i had to make it different but i cant seem to remember what i chose the password to be!

is there anyway i could find it? or reset it?
please let me know asap.

You can reset it in your database…

hmm actually, i did everything they said and made the has and replaced it and went back to my administrator section and tried logging in and it still saying the same thing!

i tried user name admin and then the username that keeps popping up automatically in the username field.

Did you also change the Username?

Not to worry…

Open your sites database in phpMyAdmin and follow instructions….

This will bring you to….

that should be it.

You don’t paste the hash code in to the login. The hash code is an encrypted version of a word.

Eg. If you save 5ebe2294ecd0e0f08eab7690d2a6ee69 in your database password field. Then the password you enter at login would be the word ‘secret’

21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3 would be the word ‘admin’
1a1dc91c907325c69271ddf0c944bc72 would be the word ‘pass’
e8a32f55454f2ea06a4e393efbb65d03 would be ‘bonelafide’

Use the Username that you see in the database and the word that represents your hash code and you are in (unless you are changing the PW for a non admin user?)
