This short snippet demonstrates how to insert data into a joomla database table using the built in $database global object. Note that you have to declare the variable if you are making this call from within a function. If this call is being made from within a component or module, then declaring the variable is not required.

This article will briefly explain the Joomla 1.0.x encryption scheme.

This information is useful if you are in a position where you have access to your database, but have forgotten the password to the Joomla administrator. 

In order to create a new password simply add it to the $password variable in the variable that follows.

Joomla Community builder has a built in lost password facility that allows for the automatic reset of the password contained in an email sent to the user. The user can then log in with the new password and change it from within the community builder profile.

Often times people dont remember their usernames, only their email address. However, without the username, the form will not submit and the password will not be sent. 

Let us take a closer look at the code so we can modify it to use just the email address and not the username.
