Nothing is more frustrating than forgetting your Joomla admin password. This can happen for a multitude of reasons and I am sure one of those reasons brought you here today. One of the simplest ways, that I have found, to reset your admin password is in phpmyadmin. So here is my simple step by step tutorial on how to go about making that change and getting back into your website.

Login to the C-Panel of your website.

Scroll down to phpMyAdmin in the Databases section and click on it. (If you are not using cPanel or do not have phpMyAdmin, you can run the query directly for Joomla's database.)

After you have opened up phpMyAdmin find your Joomla database on the menu to the left. This will open up your database displaying the available tables.

Find and open the SQL tab on the navigational bar.

In the text field write, or copy, the following SQL query:

Make sure to replace "new_password"- with the new password you wish to use and "admin" with your admin username if it is different.

Now you are all ready to go, just press the GO button, bottome right hand corner, and submit the query. So long as you did not recieve any errors you will now be able to login wit your username and password. 

If you have problems resetting the password yourself, ask your host for assistance. Richard Bankert web design can help you with both your hosting and web design needs.

So the situation may have arisen where you need to have your website offline, yet you need your registered users to have access to it. This could be because of beta testing, pre-approval prior to launch, or a host of other reasons. However, you have a problem. By default Joomla does not allow registered users to access a website when it is offline. So here is how you can accomplish this.

What is the front-end/back-end of Joomla? I am often asked this question by clients who are new to dynamic websites. When you create a Joomla website you can think of it as creating two websites.

• The first is the front-end or public web site that is accessed by typing in your url (http://www.yourwebsite.com).

• The second is the back-end or administrator web site that is accessed by typing in (http://www.yourwebsite.com/administrator)

About - It's interesting that when people talk about the church they are often referring to a building - but when Scripture talks about the church it's referring to a people - those who have found new life in Jesus Christ.  The apostle Paul even uses the imagery of the ‘body' to describe the church in his letters and by this we know that a church consists of the believers who have gathered together for worship and service.  And so it is at Parkside Gospel Church - we are a collection of men and women, youth and children - who have come together to live out our faith.  We come from different backgrounds and different communities but are bound together in Jesus Christ.
