    3 In most cases, you can find out your MySQL username and password by following these steps:
     3Your MySQL username and database is not stored in an unencrypted format by us.
    44
    5  * Login to your site via [wiki:sftp SFTP]
    6  * Enable your SFTP program to [wiki:show_hidden_files see hidden files].
    7  * View the contents of the .my.cnf file
     5However, if you are using your database with a web application like Drupal or WordPress, then the username and password are probably stored in a configuration file.

    9 If that method does not work, and you are looking for a Drupal MySQL username and password please see our [wiki:access_drupal_database_directly Drupal-specific instructions].
     7For WordPress, look for a file called wp-config.php. For Drupal, try our [wiki:access_drupal_database_directly Drupal-specific instructions].
