Description of my issue: Good Afternoon, I am in serious need of some help here. My secret word for my Joomla URL was working fine earlier but now when I try to access my Joomla Admin backend it keeps taking me to my website. Administrator secret URL parameter. My questoin is how do I fix this and be able to log in to my Joomla backend? Please help but please tell me an a easy way b/c I am not a programmer. Thank you, sooo much.

I am going to be honest here, I am really at my wits end here, I just finished moving my server, I've been dealing with security issues left and right and my website is all I have, so when I can't access the back end in Joomla b/c it's not taking my Secret Url Parameter word, it makes me panic slash crazy. Please help, I love your software you developed it is heaven sent. Please help me.

Thank you,

Rochelle

Hey Rochelle,

Please locate this directory on the server,

plugins/system/admintools/main.php

renamethe main.php file to mainbak.pbp

This basically disables all admin tools function (apart from the htaccess file)

Now you should be able to log into you site as per normal, fix the secret paramater.

Please make sure you rename the file back to main.php

and your done. ;) no need to be crazy, lol.

Tonight I am going to ask my programmers to do this for me, but THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU soooooooooooooooooo much!!! Now I can think straight, you are a life saver!

nah it cool, its a fairly straight forward operation when you know how. ;)
