1. Log in to your control panel.

2. Navigate to the File Manager:

5. Find Database Credentials:

Within the wp-config.php file, look for the following lines (typically around lines 27–31):

define( 'DB_USER', 'your_database_username' );

define( 'DB_PASSWORD', 'your_database_password' );

The value next to DB_PASSWORD is the password used to access your database via phpMyAdmin.
