To reset your Joomla Admin Password you need access to the Joomla installation Database. Once you're inside find the admin account in the #_users table and in the password field write any of the MD5 hash of passwords:
admin = 21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3
secret = 5ebe2294ecd0e0f08eab7690d2a6ee69
OU812 = 7441de5382cf4fecbaa9a8c538e76783
Once you've regained access to your backend remember to set a new password for your admin account.

By default the Joomla administrator account is called "admin". To protect youself, and make it harder for anyone trying to guess your account details is also recomended to change the admin's username to something more difficult.
To accomplish this:
1. Log into the Back End
2. Select User Manager
3. Select the 'admin' user record
4. Change the value in username. (Good user names contain a mix of letters and numbers.)
5. Save
6. Remember the new user name!
If you ever forget the admin user password (or someone breaks in and changes it on you), see this article. INSERT ARTICLE ADDRESS

By Default, Joomla also used to come with Register Globals emulation ON, this is to avoid compatibility problems with many poor written third party extensions available for Joomla. This setting has been To turn off this setting Edit the file /globals.php and change the line: define( ‘RG_EMULATION’, 1 ); to define( ‘RG_EMULATION’, 0 ); As you can see you only need to change from number 1 to 0. that's all! |

A particular PHP setting which helps increase or decrease dramatically the security of your site. By default some web servers come with register globals ON which is not the optimum setting. To turn Register Globals off you only need to add the following line to your .htaccess and save: php_flag register_globals off |
