If somebody knows Jsecure component, can tell is very good extension for hide the Joom back-end url... But I forget it what type of word I was give to Jsecure for access to my back-end.

I find few sulotion on the Internet, how can I see it what is that key what I lost it... Might be all sulotion is only for Joomla 1.5, but I using Joomla 2.5. So I have find the Jsecure rows in the prefix_extensions table and I open it. I think I have a good luck, but when I seen the "Params" are is fully empty. Nowhere I can see this admin url key... Can somebody help me please how I can get it back my admin?

JSecure doesn't save the the key in the database.

The easiest way is to use phpMyAdmin (or it's equivalent on your host) and disable the extension.

In phpMyAdmin, find your JSecure row in #__extensions and change the value of the enabled column to 0, this will disable the extension, you can then go back into the Extension Manager re-enable JSecure and setup a new secret word.

By the way if you already use Akeeba AdminTools — this functionality (the secret word for /adminsitrator access) is built into the WAF settings.

These are the instructions for manual deletion that are included with JSecure:

Following are steps to remove the jSecure 2.1.10 manually Joomla 2.5:

Delete the component and plug-in entry from database.

jos_jsecurelog
jos_assets
com_jsecure - jsecure
jos_extensions
System - jsecure - plugin
jsecure - component
jos_menu
COM_JSECURE_AUTHENTICATION
BASIC_CONFIGURATION
ADVANCED_CONFIGURATION
VIEW_LOG
HELP

Delete the below mentioned folders & files.

\administrator\components\com_jsecure
\administrator\language\en-GB
en-GB.com_jsecure.ini,
en-GB.com_jsecure.sys.ini,
en-GB.plg_system_jsecure.ini

With ftp manager (filezla or other) go : plugins => system => look "jsecure.php" and rename the file to "jsecureshit.php" (or other), Next time try to access your site and : it works ! that's all folks !

I have got the answer for my question. I hope this helps everyone who using this component. Do not delete manually Jsecure files, because after you will never can use again this component. Just uninstall with Joomla Extension Manager!

Thanks for cppl to find the solution!

So the first, the problem is: How to get back the Joomla 2.5 admin if you have forget it you key. Open your MySQL and find your-prefix_extensions table. Find the "System - jsecure" colum and open it for edit. Change 1 in "enabled" and "access" to 0. Clean your Joomla cache, or wait when is automatic cleaned. After that you can access to your admin area. If maybe not, find the "jsecure" colum as well and open it to edit. Change 1 in "enabled" to 0. But when you sing-in to your admin area, after change back to 1 because you will never see that component in the admin page. So that is the solution to get back your admin area.

But! I think the Jsecure 3.0 have a bug, because if I change the key and enabled the component again you will can't access to your admin area. I will send this bug, but is better to upgrade to 3.0.1. Important is, you can get back your admin and can uninstall that component better like manually.
