It's a good idea to change your Joomla password often, and since it's so easy, there's no excuse :)

In addition, you can use this procedure to change ANY user's password if you are a Super Administrator.

Note: You must be logged into the Joomla Administration to perform this procedure. Also note that you cannot recover a lost password: You can only reset the password.

  1. From the Joomla Admin menu, select Site > User Manager.
    Joomla displays the User Manager screen.
  2. Click on the name of the user whose password you want to change.
    Joomla displays the User screen.

  4. Enter the new password again in the Verify Password field.
  5. Click Save.
