Forgotten your jSecure access keyword?

arghIf you've secured your site using JSecure, you'll know that you need to browse to /administrator/?keyword to access your admin back-end.  What happens if you forget the keyword, or something goes wrong with the jSecure plugin?Don't panic, you're not locked out forever!  There are a couple of ways to retrieve your password without calling in the reinforcements!

If you forget your keyword, you can always browse your database using phpMyAdmin to view the tables relating to the jSecure plugin.  Click on jos_plugins and then browse - this will allow you to look at all the settings for your plugins.  You will notice that under the row titled System - jSecure Authentication, the "Params" column will state:

Key=

This is the keyword to access your admin section of the site!  So, to browse there direct your browser at www.yoursite.com/administrator/?keyword :)

Alternatively you can delete the plugin manually (via ftp) and remove this row in the database, and your site should then return to normal without the jSecure redirection.
