Hidden Administrator - is it even possible? - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

is there way create user 'hidden' user list in joomla, given administrator type privileges on site?

just curious sites people never ever login admin except first time , change password. months later approach me wanting me hop in , can't remember diddly squat of info.

so thinking of installing kind of 'secret user', wouldn't visible in user list remain in database login in needed done.

anyone ever done - or know if can done?

so @ point option login , manually change password them or have them edit database explained in:

are trying avoid doing this? if create new admin account still need tell them password can log in. in case couldn't create admin account password choose , tell them login using that? bottom line need explain importance of them keeping login information in safe place not need contact every time forget it.
