Joomla Administrator Login Solved/Closed

Question

This morning I connected normally to the administrator section of my site. This evening when I got back from work, I couldn't log in, my site works fine, I can log in from the site to post a news article, but as soon as I switch to admin, I can't anymore. I have 2 different logins. Same issue.
The response is please enter your password. It doesn't even tell me that my login is incorrect.
I need help
Thank you

Configuration: Windows XP Firefox 1.5.0.11

To avoid reinstalling everything for a password issue, a useful solution is to reset the SuperAdmin password via an SQL query in phpMyAdmin (SQL tab, execute the query):

REPLACE INTO `jos_users` (`id`, `name`, `username`, `email`, `password`, `usertype`, `block`, `sendEmail`, `gid`, `registerDate`, `lastvisitDate`, `activation`, `params`) VALUES (62, 'Administrator', 'admin', 'admin@toto.com This email is protected from bots that collect emails, your browser must accept Javascript to view it', '5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99', 'Super Administrator', 0, 1, 25, '2005-11-22 00:31:11', '2005-11-26 22:05:38', '', 'editor=');

You will be able to access your site’s administration again with the login: admin and password: password

The cleanest way, in my opinion, is as follows:  UPDATE `le_user`.`jos_users` SET `password` = MD5( 'plain_password' ) WHERE `jos_users`.`id` =xx LIMIT 1 ;

Hello friends, I have the same problem. Of course, I first tried all the suggested manipulations, but still nothing; they are stubborn and won't let me pass!

I'm at my wit's end, especially since this issue only happens locally. I wonder what it will do once it's transmitted to the server ;) !

Is there anything else like a fix? Can I completely delete the Admin entry and try something else by creating a new user? Does the issue still stem from the activation/deactivation of the authentication plugin?

Are there any bugs that lead to this distress on Joomla?

Thank you Jef, Thor, and info2D3D for taking the time to explain the procedure clearly. It really helped me out! ;-)

Hello,

In facing the same issue, I would like to bring this subject back to attention.

Just a quick reminder:
I am working locally, unable to connect to the back office, entering the correct login (or even the wrong one), and nothing happens except for a refresh.
Everything was working fine before, and the site hosted by Free is also functioning.

Have you found a solution?

Thank you in advance!

Hello,
I have the same problem that just appeared.
I tried all the (4) methods described (Recover, Jos_users, Php My Admin, ...) nothing works!!!
I'm starting to wonder if there is a solution to my problem...
I enter my login + password, but nothing happens, just a simple "refresh".
I have several accounts on this site, and all the accounts are doing this!!??
Is there a solution? I am on Joomla 1.5.8, and if I upgrade to 1.5.9 will it solve my issue?
Thank you for your valuable advice.
Aldo

Hello.
I just spent the whole afternoon working on my site and suddenly I can no longer log in as either admin or a regular user.
Huge panic!!!
I just read the post carefully but I'm afraid to click in phpmyadmin.
I accessed the configuration.php file that I retrieved using filezilla but it doesn't seem very promising.
Can you guide me step by step please???
My host is 1&1 and the version used is Joomla_1.5.9
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.

beheliod · Answer

I forgot to mention that I have an active connection on one of my browsers... 1. I'm unable to disconnect from it 2. Therefore, I can still modify the content of the site. Best regards.

I'm calling for help, I also have the blank page issue when I want to log in as admin.
I've tried and checked all the tips described in this post in vain and it's still the same.
My setup: I'm local with Apache.

I do have the admin login page appearing on the screen, but when I click the login button, a blank page appears instead of the normal admin page containing the control panel.
NB:
The last action I took before getting to this catastrophe was a test from the site part of creating a new user (mod_loggin module)
The site part is still functioning.
I don't want to start everything over

If you have any ideas...
Thanks

Hello,
following the installation of Joomla and not being able to access it, I created a user and deleted the admin from the SQL database.
How can I make the user I created a super admin?

Thank you in advance,
Best regards, Alex

snooky147 · Answer

Hello,
you need to go to the database administration (accessible by logging in to your host):
- click on the table "jos_users" or "prefixetable_users" if the prefix was changed during installation
- click on the display tab => you should see all the members
- click on the pencil to modify the desired member
- then change in the usertype line which should be 'Regitred', set it to "Super Administrator" while respecting uppercase / lowercase
- do not touch anything else!!
There you go, that should do it.

Hello everyone,  I am using Joomla 1.5 and Firefox 3.6 My site is still local.  I disabled all the plugins that I thought (apparently) were unnecessary, but since I don't know much about programming and this is my first site, it seems I've made a mistake. I spent all day yesterday trying to connect to my "admin" account without success, I tried all the methods to recover it but nothing works.  I'm really frustrated, I've been spending all my spare time on this site for 3 weeks and I was getting near the end....  If anyone has a solution to reactivate the disabled plugins (maybe via mysql?), I'm all ears.  Thank you in advance for your help.

snooky147 · Answer

Hi, go to the database, table jos_plugin (jos or the prefix given during installation), set the "Joomla authentication" to "1" in the first row normally.  Ciao

Tof · Answer

First, thank you very much for your help I am attaching a copy of my jos_plugin table It seems to me that what you suggested to try is already active, but I still can't log into Joomla  Field Type Function ull Value id int(11) 1 name varchar(100) Authentication - Joomla element varchar(100) joomla folder varchar(100) authentication access tinyint(3) unsigned 1 ordering int(11) 1 published tinyint(3) 0 iscore tinyint(3) 1 client_id tinyint(3) 0 checked_out int(11) unsigned 0 checked_out_time datetime 0000-00-00 00:00:00 params text   thank you again

snooky147 · Answer

Well, I see you're on top of things! lol! When you're in your database, click on the table, then click on the "show" menu at the top left, you'll get a list of all the plugins with their parameters on several lines! In the "published" column, make sure you have "1" as the value on the row regarding authentication, normally the first one!! Otherwise, it's possible that you're typing your code incorrectly, watch out for uppercase/lowercase and avoid any cryptic signs!  Good luck!

Tof · Answer

Wouuuaaah !!! So cool !!
In the end, I activated all the "published" options:

Authentication - Joomla
Authentication - LDAP
Authentication - GMail
Authentication - OpenID

But it still didn't work (and it no longer displayed the incorrect password message but wouldn't log in).

So I also activated the "published" option for User - Joomla!

And then the miracle happened. lol

Right or wrong, I assumed that "1" corresponds to active and "0" to inactive

Anyway, I detailed it well so that if others have the problem, this might be their solution...

THANK YOU for everything, I can continue my site without starting over and I've also learned some basics of mysql

Hello, I have carefully read all the exchanges and unfortunately, I can't find answers to my problem. I have been messing around with user accounts (since I was in the process of installing the Projektfork plugin and testing the different access levels). As a result, I think I may have modified the rights of the Super Administrator account... I have reinitialized this account through the MySQL database (joes_users) as explained above. But I am still unable to log in to the Backend (message: "You cannot access the administration of this site."). I know my credentials are correct as strangely, I can log in to the frontend with the admin credentials.  I would be extremely grateful if someone could provide THE solution (a full backup of the site was done too long ago to be useful, in the process of reinstalling Joomla...) Thank you very much Fanny

kalao · Answer

Hello,  I have the same issue during a login test (both in the backend and frontend). None of the information provided above works. In phpmyadmin, the published field is set to 1, the password has been properly reset to md5, and yet during a login test, the page appears to refresh but no connection is established, both in the backend and frontend.  I have no idea where this could be coming from. If anyone has any suggestions. Thank you in advance.

For all those who know this problem, download the tool linked below, unzip it on your PC, upload the com_resetadminpassword file to rootdirectory/component using your FTP, go to the address: http://yourdomain.com/index.php?option=com_resetadminpassword If the site works properly, enter a new username and a new password then click on the "set new password" ... Don't forget to delete the com_resetadminpassword file afterwards via FTP and that's it ...  http://www.sankuru.biz//images/bayon/download_files/tool_resetadminpassword_unzip_first.zip

Good evening, having struggled, this post put me on the right track,  In the "jos_plugins" table, the "user-joomla" module also needs to be published  That was no longer the case for me, who knows why...  Have a good evening!
