GoDaddy PHPMyAdmin Username & Password

gd_imageLooking for something?  Perplexed about your GoDaddy PHPMyAdmin’s username and password?  Well here it is… Your username is the same as your database name and your password is…  well heck, how would I  know?  If you lose your password, you may need to contact GoDaddy for help.  There isn’t an I forgot my password link anywhere to be found.  Wacky, isn’t it?

Recently I was sharing this info with a web dev/programmer friend of mine, who needed to set his database connection configurations.  He was disbelieving, finding it peculiar.  What can I say?  I don’t make this stuff up.  Good luck!  I hope this helps any lost GoDaddy souls out there.

  3. Manage Account
  4. Databases
