Mini Howto: WordPress database login

admin0 Comments

Filed UnderWordPress

If you need to login to phpmyadmin to manage your WordPress database, you will need the user name and password of that database.

To find your wordpress database user name and password, please download your config.php file in your blog’s main directory.  Open it in a text editor such as notepad on windows or TextEdit on Mac.

Look for the following lines:

define(‘DB_USERNAME’, ‘somelogin’);
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘sample_pass’);

That is the login for your wordpress database.

It is advisable to make a backup of your database in the event of mistakes or damage from updates.  Restoring your database from backup can result in loss of data and a restore fee from tech support in the event we need to restore it for you.
