I cant remember the password to my MySQL database.

Thanks

Ask your host? Thats what I do when I forget they're always helpful :P (They can reset it).

Uhmm, thats my only idea.

Look in config.php ?

Try that, it may say where it is in the read me file? Good luck ;)

Found it in Config_Global.php

Password was 123456 - something I would remember?!?!?!

Thanks

1.3 has quite a few good plug-ins, i found it easier to find the plug-in i wanted than a plug-in for 2.1.6 :S

Unless its a very crapy mod it wouldnt need the password anyway? the internal structure means everything would load the config info from conf_global anyway and youd be useing the pre defined database handlers to run quirys on it "/
