Suggestion n.4)

1. first check your Super Admin status:
   [Open PHPmyAdmin] in the "jos_users " table set SuperAdmin to:
   – field "id " – value "62"
   – field "gid " – value "25" or "26".
2. in the "jos_core_acl_aro " table find row for "62":
   – field "id " – write this down (should be 10 normally) – this is the "aro_id ".
3. in the "jos_core_acl_groups_aro_map " table find row for "aro_id " = 10
   – "group_id " should be "25" or "26".

BONUS :

If, for some reasons, you need to reset your joomla! admin password , or if you need to offer admin access to somebody else, or for whatever the reason, please change it by doing so:

1. Open PHPmyAdmin.
2. access your joomla DB and goto table jos_users .
3. modify "admin"-row and set it’s password code to this: 21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3 (it’s the equivalent of ‘admin ‘).
