   When I set up WordPress I sort of blazed over the mySQL part, and now I've lost both the name of the database and the root password. Is there a place in the WordPress admin pages where I can get this stuff? I want to back up the database and obviously need the password to do so. Thanks.

   If you're WordPress site is working, then you could just download the wp-config.php file via ftp. The database info would be there.

   You should also look at installing the wp-db-backup plugin. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-db-backup/
