The default username is ‘admin’ – have you tried that?
neek5: Is this your username here on the support forums or on a WordPress blog you installed? The username for the default user created at WordPress install time is admin.

how/where do i log in to phpMyAdmin?
Email your host first – ask if they already have it.
Good hosts do.
The very first step in this “answer” is my problem, I don’t remember the UI/PW to login into phpMyAdmin. I have tried admin/pw, admin/password admin/ and the user/password that are in my config-inc.php file that I can freely edit/upload via ftp. None of these work but it seems to me that I should be able to tell it what UI/PW to use based on what I put in that file when I upload it to the server, is this not how it works?
I have been running my blog for months but have never been able to get logged into phpMyAdmin because the almight Y!, my host, doesn’t support it so until I can figure out how to login, I can’t do anything involving my DB (yea, real fun!) TIA
My phpmyadmin login is the same as my cpanel login.
My cpanel login was originally determined by my host.
They CAN change it if they want, so equally they can also change it for you.
Do you have a copy of the original emails they sent?
Can you access your Yahoo control panel at all?
Yahoo may not support phpmyadmin (what DO hosts support?) but they should permit you to access a tool they gave you?
I would be hitting SEND with the same message on my email every 30 minutes if it were me.
yea, been real frustrating, I definitely have been calling Y! , they always say they don’t support phpMyAdmin (guess cause O/S, not their’s) and refer me to wp-php@yahoo-inc.com but snce they never answer, that’s fruitless (JERKS IF YOU’RE READING THIS!). I’ve looked for the orig email but no joy, gotta keep trying somehow. I told the Y! guy yesterday, “okay forget phpMyAdmin, I’m paying you guys a monthly fee to host my site, how do I get access to my data?” which at least got a sympathetic ear but he wasn’t able to get me anywhere either.
I even considered just starting over with a new DB but I’m getting good serp hits now (though no advertising just views) so I didn’t know what impact that would have (same domain, new DB). I assume nothing would change serp-wise, just a new data location for me, everything else would be the same, sound right? TIA.
I can access my Y! File Manager (host panel) yes but… I just looked again, they offer an install for phpMyAdmin so I’m loading it again now (gee, the Y! guy yesterday didn’t even mention that!)… well, I installed it and get the login screen but it bounces back to the Y! File Manager screen… I’ll get it from here, thx Z. Got any new tats?
YAHOOO!
I’ve been going in thru FF (of course!) and would just get a blank screen with my domain name listed up top = in but not in.
I just tried via my “open in IE” ext and viola!, it opened.
Lesson learned: something was preventing FF from displaying this page because it was using frames I suspect, no matter, I have access to my DB! Unbelievable!
Next lesson: Move from Yahoo 🙂
Bluehost and Asmallorange have good reputations around here.
Glad it worked out!
