Hi John, A simple hack is if you have the installation folders for the Joomla 3.0 site repeat the installation locally. Note the database name and table extension for your tables. When assigning the admin password please note it. If successful, go to PhpMyAdmin or any software you use to access your databases. Go to the database of the Joomla site created and locate the table "extension_users" E.G jos_users, locate the record with username "admin" and copy the admin password and go to your production database, locate the record with username "admin" and paste it there. It should help you login with your newly created password with username "admin". Hope it helps.

joomla 3 concatenates your password with a salt value before hashing. so even if you know what the md5 hash string of a password is, you cannot insert it directly into the db and hope to login successfully. however, if you know the salt value, normally a 32 char long string, you can hack it

HI John
Joomla password are usually encrypted using md5, have you tried using a known key e.g. 123456 is 0adc3949ba59abbe56e057f20f883e (use the following url http://md5-hash-online.waraxe.us/) look for users in the database and insert the same in the password field, (that is if the stricture is same with 1.5) then you will be able to login comfortably
regards
