Re: FAQ: Recover Admin Password
If you read the previous posts in this thread, you'll find at least 3 different ways to solve this:
- Use phpMyAdmin to generate the MD5 hash
- Use the forgotten password function on your site
- Use an external resource to generate an MD5 hash
- Use phpMyAdmin to generate the MD5 hash
- Use the forgotten password function on your site
- Use an external resource to generate an MD5 hash

Re: FAQ: Recover Admin Password
Please, I mean no offense, but I am not confident that everyone would know how to reset their password in for example phpMyAdmin. I do recommend that you use the "I forgot my password"-function first (as outlined previously in this threadm by basically opening http://www.mywebsite.com/index.php?opti ... n&Itemid=1). Then double check and triple check that the password you are using is the correct one. (for instance: When you are copying the password from the e-mail, make sure that you don't copy a space after the password itself, since "aw3foh89" and "aw3foh89 " do not match. (notice the space in the latter)
Sorry if it sounds like I'm talking down to you in a condescending tone, I really am not, I just want to make sure that everything is done correctly. I've had plenty of clients that have overlooked small errors like this before, so it wouldn't be the first time.

Re: FAQ: Recover Admin Password
To add, if you are able to logon to the frontend and not to the backend, there is a little Joomla! quirk resolved by setting the live site in your configuration file to www.domainname.com instead of domainname.com.

Re: FAQ: Recover Admin Password
If you re-enable frontend login, then you can use the forgot password functionality mentioned above.
You do not need to add the login module or a link to the login component at all, so this will be completely transparent to your regular users - no changes will be visible.

Re: Re: FAQ: Recover Admin Password
quick question....
okay, I've used this method before to change my admin password but now when I try to, I get this error in phpmyadmin:
any ideas?
all I'm doing is browsing the entries in my jos_users table, then selecting my account to edit it and entering the hash code for the password I'm wanting to change it to, I've also tried entering different hash codes that are listed and it's the same error.

As soon as you make something idiot proof, Nature makes better idiots!!!
If you want to know what "coulda", "shoulda", and "woulda" gone wrong, send it my way! I have a natural ability of mucking things up!

Re: FAQ: Recover Admin Password
Hm. Seems like a bug in phpmyadmin maybe.
Try opening this URL instead, to use the "forgot password"-function:
http://www.yourwebsite.com/index.php?op ... stPassword

Re: FAQ: Recover Admin Password
First off, I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this question.
I am one of the Super Admins for a website using Joomla 1.0.12 and Community Builder. On Friday, getting in an out of the website worked like a charm but when an attempt to login to the website, the following message is received on the browser:
This is using Windows Explorer 6.0
Attempts to access login to the back end have also failed. We have attempted to investigate the issue and located the file and edited one of the passwords in there as well but still get the above error message.
We are at a loss and would appreciate any possible assistance.
Thanks!

Re: FAQ: Recover Admin Password
You should use this URL:
http://www.yourwebsite.com/index.php?op ... stPassword
If this does not work, please make sure that you have enabled frontend login in your configuration.php-file:
$mosConfig_frontend_login = '1';
Changing the password in your configuration.php-file will NOT work. If anything this will only make your site unable to connect to the database. All user passwords are stored in the users database table. Please refer to previous posts in this thread for an explenation on how to do this.
