 * How do I access mysql database password. I accidentally changed it in the wp-
   config file and need to get the correct password. Does anyone know how to get
   that information from cpanel mysql database?

 * You may need to get your hosting provider to reset your mysql password.

 * Usually you can’t view the current password, but you can change it. Login to 
   your hosts control panel and look for the MySQL section, it should be pretty 
   evident how to change a DB password, if not, ask the host as said above.
