How do I change my Joomla password without access?

1. Connect to your PHPMyAdmin interface. You should have received the database connection information by email when Joomla was automatically installed. If you don't remember these connection details, simply go to your FTP interface and open the"configuration.php" file. This file contains the database connection information. Enter the username and password of the database user and click the"Run" button.

2. Click on the name of the database at the top left of your screen toaccess all the tables.

3. Find the"_users" table and click on it to access the list of users.

4. Click on the"Edit" tab in front of the user for whom you want to change the password.

5. Find the"Password" line and edit as follows:

• Function: Choose"MD5" in this column. This will encrypt your password in MD5 format.
• Value: Enter your new password

Finally, click on the"Run" button at the bottom of the page.

Conclusion

You can now change your Joomla hosting administration access password if you lose it.
