It's no secret that people often forget their online passwords. Although Joomla login pages and modules usually have a "Forgot Password?" link, occasionally you may wish to manually change someone's password. You can easily do so in the Joomla Administration area.

Step 1 - Log In

Log in to your Joomla Administration area. You will usually find your Admin area by adding /administrator to your domain name - for example,  www.yourdomain.com/administrator .

Log In

Step 2 - Go to the Joomla User Manager.

In the main menu, go to Users > User Manager.
