Forgot your password in Joomla, Drupal, or any other php run cms with mysql database (with management in phpmyadmin)?
In the event you forget your administrator password or passwords in in Joomla, Drupal, mediawiki, coppermine, etc. (or any opensource php-driven cms with mysql database manageable in phpmyadmin for that matter), a workaround is fortunately available. For newbies, forgetting one's administrator user account's password the only solution will have to be re-installing the entire cms from scratch thus re-creating an administrator account in the process. A solution is as follows:
- Go to site/phpmyadmin (login, of course assuming you have the necessary rights to the database/s)
- Browse for the database, then the table (in the case of Joomla, Drupal, etc. this is commoonly the table 'users') intended to be edited
- click edit user, then under the 'Function' column (dropdown list) choose MD5, edit the 'Value' or your password (you will initially see the encrypted version of your original password), then type in the desired, new password of your choice
- Lastly, don't ever forget your password again, silly! :D
Thanks to pete avila and michael perido for the tip! cool guys from the pacific rim, Philippines :p...

What’s in the ‘mytahanan’ word?
“Tahanan” is the Filipino (colloquially Tagalog) word for “home.” As distinct as home is from a house, such is also “tahanan” from “bahay.” Thus, www.mytahanan is that real estate web site that deals with selling and presenting Filipinos here and abroad (and those wanting to call the Philippines their home) houses, condominiums, apartments, and other similar premeire properties which aims to provide you that ideal place you would love to call home.
May it be a condominium or studio units in the hectic and hustle bustle commerial and urban locations like Makati or Manila; or quite, cool tranquil, and idyllic vacation spots like Tagaytay and Baguio; or internationally popular summer and beach destinations like Boracay, Malay in the island province of Aklan; or simply city or suburban residential lots and properties in cities within Metro Manila like Las Piñas, Parañaque, Mandaluyong, etc., you will find it here.

Joomla! customization of default pages, textual phrases, messages, instructions, breadcrumbs, etc.
Below are the following pages/modules/extensions whose messages/errors that can be edited or customized accordingly for Joomla! 1.0.13 Stable:
// no direct access
// Site page note found
// common
/** mambots *//** content */
/** classes/html/modules.php */
/** contact.php */
/** classes/html/contact.php */
/** pageNavigation */
/** emailfriend */
/** classes/html/content.php */
/** content.php */
/** poll.php */
/** classes/html/poll.php */
/** registration.php */
/** classes/html/registration.php */
/** classes/html/search.php */
/** templates/*.php */
/**
* Modify this line to reflect how you want the date to appear in your site
*e.g. DEFINE(”_DATE_FORMAT_LC”,”%A, %d %B %Y %H:%M”); //Uses PHP’s strftime Command Format
*//** classes/html/usermenu.php */
/** user.php */
/** components/com_user */
/** components/com_banners */
/** components/com_login */
/** components/com_weblinks */
/** components/com_newfeeds */
/** whos_online.php */
/** modules/mod_banners */
/** modules/mod_random_image */
/** modules/mod_stats.php */
/** /adminstrator/components/com_menus/admin.menus.html.php */
/** administrators/components/com_users */
/** administrators/components/com_massmail *//** includes/pdf.php */
For instance, there is that page in joomla that says “There is a Web Link already with that name, please try again.” everytime you double entry or conflicting item in the weblink manager. To add a few instructions or details to that line, you could add desired text therein. ;o) just a tip for those who had the same difficulty of searching for answers when one wants to customize Joomla and its default text and messages.
Important reminders:
1. html tags apply within the ‘text phrase’ only, be carely not to mess around with the rest of the php strings (safe practice is to make a backup copy of english.php)
2. with Joomla! 1.0.13 Stable version, there is no way you could add header items to english.php it will result into errors like:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/jerome/public_html/site/language/english.php:1) in /home/jerome/public_html/site/index.php on line 238… /home/jerome/public_html/site/index.php on line 239…
/home/jerome/public_html/site/index.php on line 240…
/home/jerome/public_html/site/index.php on line 241… /home/jerome/public_html/site/index.php on line 242…
Hope this helps
