How do I find my Joomla admin username?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 8:04 am

When you first set up your Joomla site, you were asked to choose a username and password. This username is your administrative login, and the password is the security code that protects your site. If you forget your username or password, there is no way to recover them. To find your username, log in to your site and go to the ‘Site Management’ menu.

PRO TIP: If you are unsure of your Joomla admin username, we recommend that you contact your Joomla administrator or hosting provider for assistance. Providing your Joomla admin username to unauthorized individuals may result in your Joomla website being compromised.

Under ‘Site Information’, you will see the ‘Username’ field. Enter your username in this field, and press the ‘Submit’ button. If you have forgotten your password, you can reset it by clicking on the ‘Forgot your password?’ link next to the ‘Username’ field.
