Problems with PHPMyAdmin

  • What is my username and password for PHPMyAdmin? I have tried every combination of WordPress passwords and username as well as the one my server gave me and neither seems to work… I need to back up my database….

  • does WP work for you?
    If so, then open the wp-config.php file. It has the server / user / database / password info you need to add to the config for phpMyAdmin.

    Try the username and password you use in wp-config.php to access your database. If that doesn’t work, contact support for your host and ask them to provide the login information for it. As PHPMyAdmin is for admin-ing databases, it doesn’t really know about your WordPress logins.

    Is there a prize for dumbest every support query?

    I cannot find the /support page control to post a New Question! I’m running Safari, but also tried FireFox in case the page isn’t being rendered correctly.

    Posting a reply to an existing thread is easy – thus my hijacking of your thread.

    A clue for the clueless would be most appreciated!

    Enter a forum (Installation, Templates and Design, etc), scroll to the bottom…tada!

    Thanx Kafkaesqui,

    And also for the polite answer to prize-winning dumb query! I’ve a 5-alarm cold, that must be the reason for brain melt-down.
