In our daily work as a webmaster we can find that when we are doing local testing of our project we do not remember our password..

One way to retrieve the username and password of phpmyadmin on ubuntu 9.04 is editing the file:

• /etc/phpmyadmin/config-db.php
• "$dbuser='usuario';
• $dbpass='contraseña';
• $basepath='';
• $dbname='basededatos';
• $dbserver='';
• $dbport='';
• $dbtype='mysql';

It also often happens that when trying to edit this file you need to have administrator rights to be able to do this quickly you can run the following command from the Terminal window:

$sudo nautilus
