I cannot acces the backend. I have upgraded to J1.5.8. but it could be that the password being used is different to the stored password (my fault if so)

I cannot find the password/keyword anywhere or where the keyword could be stored.

Is there a way to uninstall and re-install a fresh copy, or recover the password?

What files should I delete to gain access to the back end?

If so where would I find it?

Thanks in anticipation

The key is stored in jos_plugins table, column params.

Execute the following query and you will get the key to access the backend.
SELECT * FROM jos_plugins where element = 'jsecure';

Find out the 'key' keyword in params and you will get the value from this record.

I did that and it still didn't work. I have sh404 installed, is that causing the issue? If so, can I uninstall the plug without having access to the admin panel?

Hi,

however, I made unpublished this plugin at this database..I can't still goto admin part..

Please help...
