How to change the password for phpmyadmin

Question

Recently I installed the Bitnami Wordpress canned deployment on Google Cloud Platform.

I can view the phpMyAdmin instance at a local address (http://127.0.0.1:8888/phpmyadmin/) but I cannot determine the username and password to log into the database cluster. I have tried the username specified in Deployment Manager, but the temporary password is not working. When I attempt to login, I receive the following error:

mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/1045): Access denied for user 'user'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

I have tried to use various common passwords, such as root/root, with no success. If we assume the password is lost, how I can I figure out the password, recover it, or change it by using an SSH shell to the hosting compute instance?

Answer 1

Oh it's opened now, the user was (root) which it's not mentioned anywhere when i created the instance, the password is the one which generated by Bitnami when the instance is created on the bitnami platform lunchpad website.

the password is used for 2 users :

• username: user
• username : root (hidden) for new users who are decided to try cloud servers is not easy to figure this username and which password must use.

thanks for trying to help.
