Forgot your Joomla password? Here's how you can reset it:

1. More than likely your hosting provider gives you a tool called phpMyAdmin. Log into your hosting control panels to find it.
2. Use phpMyAdmin to access your Joomla database.
browsetable

3. Click on the little icon next to xxx_users. The xxx might say "jos," but it could be something else. What matters is that you use "users."

4. Find the login you want to change and click the pencil icon next to it.
changepassword

5. Set the password to MD5 and type a new password in. Click Save.
