I forgot my Joomla 3 admin username

If you’re having trouble logging into your dashboard because you’ve forgotten your Joomla 3 admin username, you can have Joomla remind you of it by emailing it to you. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to do this.

  1. Visit your Joomla 3 admin login page. You can do this by adding /administrator to the end of your site’s URL (as in https://example.com/administrator).
  2. Click the Remind button
    click-remind
  3. As instructed, enter your Email Address and then click Submit.
    enter-email-and-click-submit

    You should then see the following message:

    Message
    Reminder successfully sent. Please check your email.

    When you check your email, you should see a reminder email from your Joomla 3 website informing you of your admin username:
    admin-username-email-reminder
