Hi,
I don't know if you've solved your problem already but I've just found a link where it said modifying the joomla.php file in the authentication folder could help. That's how I created a new password without going into the phpmyadmin.
You might want to try it.
A different approach ...

By temporarily removing the authentication in PHP, you can let anyone login. So, in Joomla 1.5 RC, you can go to plugins/authentication/joomla.php and modify the line:
if ( $crypt == $testcrypt) {
so that it reads:
if ( true /* $crypt == $testcrypt */ ) {
Now everyone can login with any password. Change your password to something that you can remember. Do not forget to put the original authentication code back in.

Can I say we got a little technical here ;D
-- I just noticed this and I was going to suggest to click on the Forgot password... That would have resolved the admin password as well as any registered user. Sometimes the answer is easier than we think, because I will have to admit when I seen the title, I was all prepared to give sql scripts. But than after someone already stated phpAdmin I started screaming at the computer screen... NO! NO! NO! --- Use the... Nevermind....
If you are still having the function errors, let me know I will try to see what I can do (your error logs from the cpanel will help in this matter) - Jessica Kennedy

Thanks Jeff - the frustrating thing is that the admin log-in screen did not have the 'forgot password' option. I am very new to Joomla! (you can tell?) so I am stumbling around in the dark. But to get to the admin log-in I went to the url/administration. I am not sure if it is a Joomla! 1.5.1 change, but there is no lost password option. And the HiveMind theme does not have a login panel, so I could not use it either. So I was stuck...
Anyway, all is well that ends well.
While I have your attention, do you know anyone who can customize a Joomla! site for a fee? For example, I really liked the RokSlide module in MediaMogul - I want the user to see some images with text with links for more info. The module in HiveMind does not let you click for more information.
