You could go in to MyPHPAdmin and go to jos_users and change the password in there.
I did that when one of my sites got hacked and closed down, brought it back up to where it was in minutes.

There were serious problems with Joomla 1.5.5. Everyone should upgrade to 1.5.6 right away.

Crap – I wish I had known how to do that sooner. The very same thing just happened to me. I tried to overwrite my server administration files with my localhost administration files – and that just made things worse.

Luckily I have everything backed-up . . . so, THANK YOU for the tip on going into PHPMyAdmin.

Was this some kind of Joomla targeted mass attack? – because it was just lat night that my site got messed up.

Joomla 1.5.5 had a serious security problem that created all the hacked sites you are hearing about. It only took them 6 hours to come out with Joomla 1.5.6 to correct the problem and anyone on 1.5.5 better upgrade right away.

Hackers could simply search for “com_user” on google, it would display Joomla sites then they would try to invade using the known Joomla exploit on 1.5.5 versions and below.
