Just to let you know. I could not figure out how to update from 2.5.x ot J! 4 or 5. Everything I tried didn't work out.
I now did the following:
1. Use MD4 hash SQL command to enter new password in phpMyAdmin, then login possible again.
2. Install J2xml 3.3 (!) to export all content from the obsolete Joomla 2.5 site to xml
3. Install Joomla 5.1.1
4. Install J2xml 3.9 on the new Joomla page to import all content.
Works fine, over 100 articles imported, even the links work 99% on the new site.
Now I am continuing to work on the design but as I have updated other pages in the past, I know that you have to to this anyway even when you update the "standard" way.
Thanks for the help especially to Peter.
