How can I find my SQL Username/Password?

MySQL Database Wizard

If you want to create a new database and database user, you can do this is by going to the MySQL Database Wizard under the Databases section in cPanel.

The cPanel dashboard interface showing the Databases section with a visual focus on the MySQL Database Wizard icon.

That will walk you through the process of creating a database, creating a database user, setting a password, and then giving the database user permissions to the database all in one set of steps.

MySQL Databases

If you need to set a new password for an existing database user, you can find a list of current databases and database users under Databases > MySQL Databases in cPanel

The cPanel dashboard interface, highlighting the standard MySQL Databases icon within the Databases section.

If you scroll to the bottom of that page, you will find a list of all Current Users and can click the Change Password link there to set a new password for any of them:

The Current Users table at the bottom of the MySQL Databases page, showing user accounts alongside action options with a focus on the Change Password link.
