Database Password

[FluffeKing]

I have seem to forgotten my database password isnt there a way to get it back or change it without knowing it

please i dont want to delete it and start a new one

 

If an admin or a mod can reset it for me that would be great

Try deleting and re-creating the database user through cPanel. I would post a query to enter, but I don't believe it would work here (since dropping databases doesn't work either). If it is your cPanel password, please use the password reset form at Stevie.heliohost.org:2082 or Johnny.heliohost.org:2082

 

P.S. I apologize if this post was too confusing

i know but i am talking about the MySQL Database

Look in the configuration file of the installation you are using for your website.

What are you using as I have a list of various CMS config files?

 

You can view the config file in File Manager. It will show your password.

 

Or are you talking about accessing phpMyAdmin from cPanel?

 

If you have changed your cPanel password but did not include phpMyAdmin, simply change it again but include Mail, phpMyAdmin and FTP.

 

If adding a new installation to an existing database.

 

If you can access your database through phpMyAdmin then download a backup and do:

No not the databases, just the user.

 

Then Add the User to your existing Database.

 

You now have a new password.

However if you have an existing CMS, you will still have to edit the config file and enter the new password for it to connect.
