        <div>
            <strong>1.</strong> Find the Joomla
            Administrator <strong>User-ID</strong> and <strong>Group-ID, </strong>from
            table jos_users
        </div>

        <div>
            <br/></div>

        <div>
            In above snapshot UserID is 62 and GroupID is 25
        </div>

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

        <div>
            <br/></div>

        <div>
            <strong>3.</strong> Now go to table
            "jos_<span>core_acl_aro". </span>In this table we will
            find the <strong>aro-id</strong> for our
            administrator whose user id is <strong>62</strong>. Search
            62 in <strong>value</strong> column, and get the id
            against this record. This is <strong>10</strong> as
            highlighted in below snapshot.

            <br/></div>

        <div>
            <strong>4.</strong> Now go
            to <strong>'jos_core_acl_groups_aro_map"</strong> 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.
