How do I change the administrator password?

Thanks,

Britt,

Under Web Application Firewall, Configure WAF, on the Joomla! Feature Hardening Options tab, set "Disable editing backend users' properties" to No. That will allow you to edit the administrator user.

Where do I go after what you just told me?

The actual change for a user's password would be done under Users, that's a built in Joomla! function.

How do I uninstall Akeeba Backup and Admin Tools?

The website is changing ownership and I need to uninstall Akeeba Backup and Admin Tools!

Thanks

You can simply uninstall them through Joomla!'s Extension Manager. That will remove the files, database tables, etc. Be advised - if you store the backup archives in the default folder, it will delete them as well.

If removing the extensions would be seen as "sabotaging" the site, you could simply remove your Download ID from the components. The client would be able to continue to use the Pro versions of the software but would not be able to update them without purchasing their own subscription.
