My Own Percept

I have installed a new Joomla! instance but unluckily I forgot my password .I was seeking for the forget my password link but no way !

Solutions :

1. Generate a new MD5 hashed / encrypted password, to do this you can visit : http://pajhome.org.uk/crypt/md5/ type your clear password and then en crypt it using MD5.

2. Go to your phpmyadmin or any other MySQL client and execute the query below (don’t forget to replace your_new_encrypted_password by your own encrypted password) or just do it manually through the gui/phpmyadmin interface:

   UPDATE jos_users SET password='your_new_encrypted_password' WHERE name='Administrator';

   PS : verify your table’s prefix, as here I am using jos_ as a table prefix.

3. You can now log-in using your new password.
