Lost phpmyadmin credentials

Question

Hi there.
The people who should have the credentials to access phpmyadmin for my site appears to have 'misplaced' them. I'm not a tech person, but need to get access to that database information.
Is there a way I can have it reset, or how I might be able to find out the current credentials?
Thanks very much for any help.
Dave

Hi Dave,

You should have access to your phpmyadmin file - config.inc.php. You may find its location using **find / -iname "config.inc.php" 2>/dev/null** but it should be at **/usr/share/phpmyadmin/, /etc/apache2/conf.d/ or /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/**. I can't remember which one exactly right now.

In this file you should have your credentials **cat config.inc.php | egrep '(user|password)'**.

Let me know if this helps you.

Best regards,
Gabriel Bartholomeu
