no phpmyadmin access- login credentials fail

After installing the drupal stack, I am attempting to access phpmyadmin at http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin, but the login username and password I thought I used are not working.

I do have access to mysql via command line prompt, and to drupal. Is there a way to recover my root myphpadmin password through mysql?

If I open htdocs/sites/default/settings.php I can see the following (where I have masked out the username:password with uuuuu:pppppp), but the username and password shown in the file do not work and they are actually different than the creds that get me access to mysql:

• Database URL format:
• \$db_url = ‘mysql://uuuuu:pppppp@localhost:3306/bitnami_drupal5’;
• $db_url = ‘mysqli://username:password@localhost/databasename’;
• $db_url = ‘pgsql://username:password@localhost/databasename’; */
  \$db_url = ‘mysql://uuuuu:ppppppp@localhost:3306/bitnami_drupal5’;
  $db_prefix = ’’;

I would reinstall the stack, but I already have time into the drupal dev effort. FYI, my drupal app install works fine.

Thank you for any help.

Hi,

The phpmyadmin username is “administrator” by default and the password is the same that MySQL root user. I hope it helps you.

Wohoo! That worked. Thanks beltran!
