    You could go in to MyPHPAdmin and go to jos_users and change the password in there.
    I did that when one of my sites got hacked and closed down, brought it back up to where it was in minutes.

    Right, but, I changed for the PHPmy Admin and even so, changed again, I protected a directory with sign and did not change more!

    There were serious problems with Joomla 1.5.5. Everyone should upgrade to 1.5.6 right away.

    Crap – I wish I had known how to do that sooner. The very same thing just happened to me. I tried to overwrite my server administration files with my localhost administration files – and that just made things worse.

    Luckily I have everything backed-up . . . so, THANK YOU for the tip on going into PHPMyAdmin.

    Joomla 1.5.5 had a serious security problem that created all the hacked sites you are hearing about. It only took them 6 hours to come out with Joomla 1.5.6 to correct the problem and anyone on 1.5.5 better upgrade right away.

    Hackers could simply search for “com_user” on google, it would display Joomla sites then they would try to invade using the known Joomla exploit on 1.5.5 versions and below.
