v2 v3 1 1 = How do I find my MySQL database username and password? = 2 2 3 In most cases, you can find out your MySQL username and password by following these steps: 3 Your MySQL username and database is not stored in an unencrypted format by us. 4 4 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 5 However, 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. 8 6 9 If that method does not work, and you are looking for a Drupal MySQL username and password please seeour [wiki:access_drupal_database_directly Drupal-specific instructions].7 For WordPress, look for a file called wp-config.php.
