Fortunately, I had another account set up, but it\'s only set to normal administrator privileges. Is there a similar MySql method to restore/recreate a super admin account when the only access I have is admin? I think the old super admin account (record 62?) is gone because I don\'t see that account anymore from the Joomla backend Manage Users screen. Thanks!

I\'m still a little confused why the super admin account disappeared on me in the Joomla backend admin when it was clearly still in the MySql DB though...

It\'s plainly there in phpMyAdmin and the IDs are correctly linked. I tried using the MD5-hashed version of \"admin\" to no avail: clicking Login has no effect at all. I\'ve used an MD5 generator for other random words and the same thing happens. Now, in phpMyAdmin, the passwords appear to be significantly longer than any of the MD5 hashes--roughly twice as long with a colon in the middle. Any ideas?

Thanks Omar Omar Abdulla Fri, 27 Feb 2009 11:38:27 +0100 http://www.dart-creations.com/joomla/joomla-tips-and-tricks/25-forgot-your-super-administrator-password.html#josc1389 If you have access to the database via phpmyadmin, you will find the name of the superadmin user as the record with id number 62 in the jos_users table. You can then reset the password using the above procedure.
