[Solved] change superuser password was created by bf360
Hi to all!
i'd like to fix an issue that i ignored until now about change superuser password in joomla and moodle.
when i install my environment i not have problem...now i wanna change password (mostly after fix recent exploit of joomla) but there are two error:
1. the joomla super user have uppercase and so when i try to change password an error say me that the password must be lowercase (but i can modify the username if necessary)
2. after change in lowercase the username the attach error appears, about that user or email already exist in moodle.





What is the correct way to change these password? i think that i can modify separately the superuser password of joomla and moodle so that these coincide, or disabling temporarily the joomdle module that hook the user (I do not remember very well but I tried the solution some week ago without success)
How can i proceed?

With regards
Roberto

Hi Roberto.

You should be able to change admin password disabling for a moment the Joomdle user check plugin, that is the one checking Moodle usersand uppercases.

You should keep at least one normal Joomla admin and one normal Moodle admin: It seems you have it this way, so you need to change password for each one separately.
