How to find database user information associated with WordPress?

The database user information for WordPress is located in the wp-config.php file on the web server. To access it, first log in to the server using WebFTP: Webhosting  -> Shortcuts -> Manage files on the server 

 

WordPress installed on the main domain is located by default in the htdocs folder. If WordPress is installed on a subdomain, navigate to the corresponding subdomain folder.

In the htdocs folder, find the file named wp-config.php, click on it and select Edit.

In the wp-config.php file, the database username and password associated with the WordPress website are listed under MySQL database username and MySQL database password, respectively.

Additionally, you can also find the database name associated with WordPress and the hostname of the database server in the file.
