#How to recover phpmyadmin root password update

This is another reason why I didn't believe root password does exist in setup.This is a beginner level tutorial for WordPress users and developers who may have forgotten their admin password to log into the WordPress admin dashboard which is necessary to update any WordPress blog or website. Why would you put mysql 'da_admin' user here without putting its own password together in setup.txt? Confused right? or maybe change this variable mysqluser=da_admin to mysqluser=root and it becomes more obvious this mysql password in setup.txt belongs to root user.Īnother thing, I might had overlooked at this high rank post for example when I try to search `where is mysql root password in Directadmin` from Google it appears first and the post did not mention anything about mysql root user. so that will become more obvious) and below it mysqluser=da_admin which makes me more confused that it is not mysql root password but only belongs to da_admin. Normally after DA installation (before I found the sql password log) I would reset root password manually through terminal (stopping mysqld)Īlso if you look at setup.txt here, the way how the password is arranged is a bit confused to me as it doesn't mention that the mysql password belongs to root username (it's written as mysql=3Fqvk., should put like mysql_root=3Fqvk. Until I found that the root password is actually came from the terminal log I posted previously and I thought that the hidden sql root password is only came from that terminal output. I remember I read from one post (I think I read it wrong) that Directadmin will never create or store mysql root password and starting from that moment I put a note and I never believe that this setup.txt contains mysql root password (as root username, I thought the password belongs to da_admin and it has the same location as in /usr/local/directadmin/conf/nf). I was wrong about what I said above that setup.txt contains only da_admin sql password. Ok, I just installed DA now with fresh installation.
