    I want to get into the database and tweak some input items. But I was never given the password for the database user as I was doing the install through my hosting service. I dont see any password recovery in my hosts cpanel. So how do I get the password so I can login in to the database?

    In your ISP Control Panel “File Manager” or use FTP to look in wp-config.php at lines 17-28

    // ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress');

/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'root');

/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', '');

/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');

    Ok, I did that and copied the info exactly but it says I can`t log in.

    Ok, once I did a direct copy and paste it would do it. Strange as it didn`t take it when I typed it in even though it was exact. Oh well. Thanks very much for the help!

    If you used the correct Hostname (server), username and password and you cannot get into the database contact your ISP!

    You should not need to tweek data in the tables, more information on what you are trying to do might help, and are you taking the correct path?
