How to reset the Joomla Administrator password

http://www.BuildAJoomlaWebsite.com - this tutorial demonstrates what to do if you lose access to the Joomla Administrator. You can't actually reset the password as such, but you can easily change it using a tool that is often provided by web hosts called phpMyAdmin. This is a fairly easy process, however it does require you to make a change directly in the database. If you are uncomfortable doing this, you might like to ask your web host if they can do it for you.

@jaemessina This is specified during the Joomla installation. If you don't have this and you don't have access to phpMyAdmin then you're out of luck. Contact your web host for help.
