 * What is my username and password for PHPMyAdmin? I have tried every combination
   of WordPress passwords and username as well as the one my server gave me and 
   neither seems to work… I need to back up my database….

 * does WP work for you?
    If so, then open the wp-config.php file. It has the server/
   user / database / password info you need to add to the config for phpMyAdmin.

 * Try the username and password you use in wp-config.php to access your database.
   If that doesn’t work, contact support for your host and ask them to provide the
   login information for it. As PHPMyAdmin is for admin-ing databases, it doesn’t
   really know about your WordPress logins.

 * Is there a prize for dumbest every support query?
 * I cannot find the /support page control to post a New Question! I’m running Safari,
   but also tried FireFox in case the page isn’t being rendered correctly.
 * Posting a reply to an existing thread is easy – thus my hijacking of your thread.
 * A clue for the clueless would be most appreciated!

 * New forum post:
 * Enter a forum (Installation, Templates and Design, etc), scroll to the bottom…
   tada!

 * Thanx Kafkaesqui,
 * And also for the polite answer to prize-winning dumb query! I’ve a 5-alarm cold,
   that must be the reason for brain melt-down.
