Tip: How to Reset Super Admin Password

Before we begin, you must have access to your database. If you don't, pass these instructions on to someone that does.  It's also a good idea to backup your database before making changes, just in case something goes wrong.

Resetting the Password

In the password field you'll notice a string of characters. Joomla uses a one-way encoding method, which means you won't be able to retrieve your old password. However, you will be able to reset the password to a new one using mySQL's built in MD5 function:

UPDATE jos_users SET password=MD5('password') WHERE usertype = "Super Administrator";

And that's it, you have reset the Super Administrator password.

How to reset Joomla 1.5, 1.0 and earlier passwords

UPDATE `jos_users` SET `password` = MD5( 'password' ) WHERE `jos_users`.`username` = "admin";

Good luck!

No response?

Last year we took over the Joompolitan project. Besides some great reviews on extensions.joomla.org there unfortunately where also some bad reviews. Mostly complaining about not getting back any response from support. We know that not everyone can be pleased and not every install will work out of the box, but to show you how commited we are: Last year we send out a stunning total of 702 emails to customers requesting support or information. I think that proves that support has upgraded a lot since the beginning.

Upgrade your Joomla theme

The default Joomla! theme looks really basic and block build. There are a lot of websites out there offering great Joomla! themes for you to download. One of the largest collections of quality themes can be found on Rocket Theme

The upside of using a commercial theme (besides the looks) over a free one, is that most of them also have pre-designed elements for popular extensions such as JomSocial.

Kinetic and Dominion are the latest releases from Rocket Theme and available for club members.

WordPress or Joomla?

Check out this great article on seotops.com:
