Answer

Is it possible to connect to the WordPress database you are using?  
If possible, try following the steps below to directly edit the WordPress administrator's password in the database.  
However, this operation is very dangerous and should always be performed after a backup has been made.

Answer

Hi,
We tried every step there with the default user and pass. Does not get me in. The link for "Modify the database password" show a 404 page, is there an active page?

Thanks for your help.

Answer

You will find the database password in this file.  
Execute the following command to confirm.  
```
sudo cat /home/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-config.php
```
