Recover Super Admin Status of Joomla 1.5 Administrator

jos_users
- jos_core_acl_aro_groups
- jos_core_acl_groups_aro_map

          jos_core_acl_aro

          We need to find these things:

      - user id

          - group_id

          - aro_id

          **Four Steps to recover** **1.**Find the Joomla
          Administrator**User-ID**and**Group-ID, **from
          table jos_users

          In above snapshot UserID is 62 and GroupID is 25

          **2**.  Go to
          table 'jos_core_acl_aro_groups' and find the GrouID
          for super administrato. It is 25 in above snapshot.
          This is also called GroupID for
          super-administrator. We need to set this value 25,
          into the table of step-1, in snapshot thats already
          25.

          **3.**Now go to table
          "jos_core_acl_aro". In this table we will
          find the**aro-id**for our
          administrator whose user id is**62**. Search
          62 in **value**column, and get the id
          against this record. This is**10**as
          highlighted in below snapshot.**4.**Now go
          to**'jos_core_acl_groups_aro_map"** table,
          here we will search for aro-id (we find that in step-3). Then
          in that record set group-id to the value found in step-2.

          Thats all.

          Now try to log in into your Administration backend.

          Enjoy
