Make sure when you are resetting in phpMyadmin you select MD5 before saving, otherwise if you are still unable contact me off list. On Fri, Nov 29, 2013 at 4:25 PM, nadhir mohamed <nadhir67@gmail.com> wrote:

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 On Fri, Nov 29, 2013 at 4:21 PM, Johnny Onami <onamij@gmail.com> wrote:

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 On Fri, Nov 29, 2013 at 4:34 PM, Johnny Onami <onamij@gmail.com> wrote:

If you hash the password then the hash value will be hashed again before being compared to the key in the database what I mean to say is hashing does not work On Fri, Nov 29, 2013 at 4:21 PM, Johnny Onami <onamij@gmail.com> wrote:
