How to reset or recover your Joomla administrator/admin password?

Reset Password Directly from Database

Do you have direct access MySQL database.

Change the Password Directly from Database

If the admin user is already defined, the easiest way is to change the password in the database to a known password. This requires that you have direct access to the MySQL database using phpMyAdmin or another client.

Cautions: Change your password after login
Following instructions show how to manually reset a password to the word - "admin"

Open to phpMyAdmin and select the database of your Joomla website. In the left-hand side of the screen dropdown list will appear. It will display all the database tables.
Find a table " prefix_users" in the list of tables (note: prefix will depend on your prefix value.).
Click on the "Browse" button in the top toolbar. It will display all of the users for this site.
Click on the " Edit icon " for user whose password you want to change.
Change Password Value to following 09b135d0d2022f04d1d679afec90cfc6:9z78xfHz0TFnmI8d4jHtvmk0QxayQJUv into the password field and press the Go button.
Or
Log in with this user and password (admin). After logging again change password from user Manager for this user. Check all of the users in User manager and also change the password of others if your website was hacked.

How to integrate pdf icon in joomla 3.0

In Joomla! 2.5 or 3.x the PDF icon is not more available. In this blog you will get step by step process to integrate it on your joomla 3.x.

Step1:- a). At first you download Phoca PDF component zip file here.
b). Also you download Phoca pdf content plugin zip from here.

Step2:- Go to your site administrator and open extension manager and install these two zip files one by one.

Step3:- Activate the installed Phoca PDF system plugin from plugin manager. It is a system plugin.

Step4:- Now you need to edit files of your joomla content component.

## First one is components/com_content/views/article/tmpl/default.php

Change it from

   <?php if ($canEdit || $params->get('show_print_icon') || $params->get('show_email_icon')) : ?>  
   <div class="btn-group pull-right">  
   <a class="btn dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#"> <span class="icon-cog"></span> <span class="caret"></span> </a>  
   <?php // Note the actions class is deprecated. Use dropdown-menu instead. ?>  
   <ul class="dropdown-menu actions">  
   <?php if ($params->get('show_print_icon')) : ?>  
   <li class="print-icon"> <?php echo JHtml::_('icon.print_popup', $this->item, $params); ?> </li>  
   <?php endif; ?>  
   <?php if ($params->get('show_email_icon')) : ?>  
   <li class="email-icon"> <?php echo JHtml::_('icon.email', $this->item, $params); ?> </li>  
   <?php endif; ?>  
   <?php if ($canEdit) : ?>  
   <li class="edit-icon"> <?php echo JHtml::_('icon.edit', $this->item, $params); ?> </li>  
   <?php endif; ?>  
   <?php  
   </ul>  
   </div>  
   <?php endif; ?>

Change it to

   <?php $phocaPDF = false;  
   if (JPluginHelper::isEnabled('phocapdf', 'content')) {  
   include_once(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.'/components/com_phocapdf/helpers/phocapdf.php');  
   $phocaPDF = PhocaPDFHelper::getPhocaPDFContentIcon($this->item, $params);  
   } ?>  
   <?php if ($canEdit || $params->get('show_print_icon') || $params->get('show_email_icon') || $phocaPDF) : ?>  
   <div class="btn-group pull-right">  
   <a class="btn dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#"> <span class="icon-cog"></span> <span class="caret"></span> </a>  
   <?php // Note the actions class is deprecated. Use dropdown-menu instead. ?>  
   <ul class="dropdown-menu actions">  
   <?php if ($params->get('show_print_icon')) : ?>  
   <li class="print-icon"> <?php echo JHtml::_('icon.print_popup', $this->item, $params); ?> </li>  
   <?php endif; ?>  
   <?php if ($params->get('show_email_icon')) : ?>  
   <li class="email-icon"> <?php echo JHtml::_('icon.email', $this->item, $params); ?> </li>  
   <?php endif; ?>  
   <?php if ($canEdit) : ?>  
   <li class="edit-icon"> <?php echo JHtml::_('icon.edit', $this->item, $params); ?> </li>  
   <?php endif; ?>  
   <?php echo $phocaPDF; ?>  
   </ul>  
   </div>  
   <?php endif; ?>

## Second is components/com_content/views/category/tmpl/blog_item.php

Change it from

  <?php if ($params->get('show_print_icon') || $params->get('show_email_icon') || $canEdit) : ?>  
   <div class="btn-group pull-right"> <a class="btn dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#" role="button"> <span class="icon-cog"></span> <span class="caret"></span> </a>  
   <ul class="dropdown-menu">  
   <?php if ($params->get('show_print_icon')) : ?>  
   <li class="print-icon"> <?php echo JHtml::_('icon.print_popup', $this->item, $params); ?> </li>  
   <?php endif; ?>  
   <?php if ($params->get('show_email_icon')) : ?>  
   <li class="email-icon"> <?php echo JHtml::_('icon.email', $this->item, $params); ?> </li>  
   <?php endif; ?>  
   <?php if ($canEdit) : ?>  
   <li class="edit-icon"> <?php echo JHtml::_('icon.edit', $this->item, $params); ?> </li>  
   <?php endif; ?>  
   </ul>  
   </div>  
   <?php endif; ?>

Change it to

   <?php $phocaPDF = false;  
   if (JPluginHelper::isEnabled('phocapdf', 'content')) {  
   include_once(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.'/components/com_phocapdf/helpers/phocapdf.php');  
   $phocaPDF = PhocaPDFHelper::getPhocaPDFContentIcon($this->item, $params);  
   } ?>  
   <?php if ($params->get('show_print_icon') || $params->get('show_email_icon') || $canEdit || $phocaPDF) : ?>  
   <div class="btn-group pull-right"> <a class="btn dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#" role="button"> <span class="icon-cog"></span> <span class="caret"></span> </a>  
   <ul class="dropdown-menu">  
   <?php if ($params->get('show_print_icon')) : ?>  
   <li class="print-icon"> <?php echo JHtml::_('icon.print_popup', $this->item, $params); ?> </li>  
   <?php endif; ?>  
   <?php if ($params->get('show_email_icon')) : ?>  
   <li class="email-icon"> <?php echo JHtml::_('icon.email', $this->item, $params); ?> </li>  
   <?php endif; ?>  
   <?php if ($canEdit) : ?>  
   <li class="edit-icon"> <?php echo JHtml::_('icon.edit', $this->item, $params); ?> </li>  
   <?php endif; ?>  
   <?php echo $phocaPDF; ?>  
   </ul>  
   </div>  
   <?php endif; ?>

Now go to the site administrator and enable the print icons param from menu and/or articles. Then you will get pdf icon on frontend of your site.

Note:- You should aware, some of templates override the component files, that means, file which are displaying content are not in component's com_content folder but it displaying content from html folder inside you template folder. If it occurs then you should do these changes in com_content inside template's html folder and not in component folder.
