Please note this involves hacking of Joomla Core files (not a recommended method).

If you have installed or updated to Joomla 3.2, you may have discovered that user’s registration, forget password …are broken in this release. The solution below should help you to fix this problem for now.

We do not recommend hacking of Joomla core files, use the below suggestions on your own risk

Edit /libraries/joomla/user/helper.php:

1. Change

$encrypted = ($salt) ? md5($plaintext . $salt) : md5($plaintext);

to

$encrypted = ($salt) ? md5($plaintext . $salt) . ':' . $salt : md5($plaintext);

Edit /libraries/joomla/user/user.php:

2. Change

$array['password'] = $crypt . ':' . $salt;

to

$array['password'] = $crypt;

Edit /components/com_users/models/reset.php:

3. Change

$password = $crypted . ':' . $salt;

to

$password = $crypted;

4. Change

if (!($crypt == $testcrypt))

to

if (!($user->activation == $testcrypt))

5. Change

$testcrypt = JUserHelper::getCryptedPassword($data['token'], $salt);

to

$testcrypt = JUserHelper::getCryptedPassword($data['token'], $salt, 'md5-hex');

Edit /plugins/authentication/joomla/joomla.php:

6. Change

if ($crypt == $testcrypt)

to

if ($result->password == $testcrypt)

Reset your password if it still doesn’t work after these changes.
