Joomla! admin password hacked...how to recover?

If the administrator password has been hacked, you are locked out and you do not have access to the Joomla! backend there is no need to be desperate: you can set a new password using phpMyAdmin.

  1. Access phpMyAdmin (from cPanel)
  2. In the left panel, access the Joomla! database
  3. Now, in phpMyAdmin are displayed all Joomla! tables. Look for the jos_users table (the tables are alphabetically ordered) 
  4. Click on the jos_users table and Browse. Here you will find the administrator user.
  5. Click to edit the administrator user. For the 5th field "Password" select MD5 Function, delete the value and write a new password. The password can be modified later from the Joomla! backend
  6. Hit the "Go" button to save the changes.

A fat man and a skinny man were arguing about who was the more polite. The skinny man said he was more polite because he always tipped his hat to ladies. But the fat man knew he was more courteous because, whenever he got up cheap jordan and offered his seat, two ladies could sit down.
