I have installed a new Joomla! instance but unluckily I forgot my password
.I was seeking for the forget my password link but no way !
Solutions :
- Generate a new MD5 hashed / encrypted password, to do this you can visit : http://pajhome.org.uk/crypt/md5/ type your clear password and then en crypt it using MD5.

- Go to your phpmyadmin or any other MySQL client and execute the query below (don’t forget to replace your_new_encrypted_password by your own encrypted password) or just do it manually through the gui/phpmyadmin interface:
UPDATE jos_users SET password='your_new_encrypted_password' WHERE name='Administrator';
PS : verify your table’s prefix, as here I am using jos_ as a table prefix.
- You can now log-in using your new password.

You are a Web developer/designer
, I believe you have used Firebug extension in Firefox to track bugs or to test your hot CSS changes before coding using your favourite editor.

What about if you ever have tried Google Chrome browser and a new love story starts .. Leave Firefox ? or forget about your new love ?
Sure there is a “solution” and it is named Firebug Lite : a JavaScript file you can insert into your pages to simulate some Firebug features in browsers that are not named “Firefox”.
Just insert this line of code to load Firebug Lite in a specific page you want to debug :
<script src="http://getfirebug.com/releases/lite/1.2/firebug-lite-compressed.js" type="text/javascript"><!--mce:0--></script>
For more information visit : http://getfirebug.com/lite.html
Also, you can simply drag the red bug icon below to your bookmark toolbar then you will be able to use FB Lite with any page :

<a href="javascript:var firebug=document.createElement('script');firebug.setAttribute('src','http://getfirebug.com/releases/lite/1.2/firebug-lite-compressed.js');document.body.appendChild(firebug);(function(){if(window.firebug.version){firebug.init();}else{setTimeout(arguments.callee);}})();void(firebug);">Firebug Lite</a>
All basic commands of Firebug are supported by this Lite version. I have tried it with Google Chrome .. It’s not as smooth as in Forefox .. I hope that a native Firebug extension for Google Chrome and others webkit based browsers will see the light soon. As I believe that the Lite version is not a real replacement for the Native Firefox extension.
You can do a lot of funny stuffs like using Firebug Lite offline , changing FB Lite’s CSS style.. So check out http://getfirebug.com/lite.html for more information.
