Joomla 1.5.x Password reset
1. Go to url : http://ursite.com/index.php?option=com_user&view=reset&layout=confirm 2. Write into field "token" char ' and Click OK. 3. Write new password for admin 4. Go to url : http://ursite.com/administrator/ 5. Login admin with new password If you enter ' in token field then query will look like : "SELECT id FROM jos_users WHERE block = 0 AND activation = '' "
Another way:
- You must login into your hosting cpanel : exp : www.yourdomain/cpanel
- Go to mySql database, then phpmyadmin
- The page will be refresh and the database table will be displayed then open the SQL tab.
- In the text field, write the following SQL Query :
UPDATE `jos_users` SET `password` = MD5( ‘new_password‘ ) WHERE `jos_users`.`username` = “admin” ;
Where :
“new_password” – replace this with the new password you wish to use.
“admin” – replace this if your admin username is different.
