Well one of my test sites was hacked by some Mustafa Mudzhedin or who the f knows who. He changed my admin password so here is how to reset it. Go to you cpanel in your host admin and go to mysql and open your database and open your users table and change the password. It is in has code so you can use this site to create a new hash of your new code.

That worked this time, I remember another Iranian hacked my main site few months ago and I could not reset the password. Luckily I had the database backup and template backup, that is all you need. Use your database backup and also template backup just in case and your site is saved. 

Also if you want to make your joomla site safer change your default username in the admin section of your site to a new username. That way hackers will have bigger problems hacking your site.
