# password for database

 * My blog is working fine but I would like to access the database so I can list
   the titles and links to the posts on my websites. The password is encoded in 
   the config file so I can;t access the db with a recordset. I could change the
   user WP01 password under mysql but I don’t want to trash the blog. Any help would
   be appreciated.

 * Normally the DB_PASSWORD in wp-config.php is not encoded so you will need to 
   track down who did that encoding for you.
 * Or change the database password then fix your wp-config.php. See [Editing wp-config.php](http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php)
   for details.
