Problem Description
I need to find or reset my master password for PHPMyAdmin.
My browser remembered it, but I accidentally deleted its record of that password and my usual password store doesn’t seem to have the correct value.
I know Sympl configures PHPMyadmin to use HTTP Basic Auth, but I can’t find a .htpasswd file on the server.
What should I be looking for?
Environment
- Sympl Version [11.0]:
- Sympl Testing Version? [No]
- Debian Version [Bullseye]:
- Hardware Type? [Virtual]
- Hosted On? [Bitfolk]
The basic Auth used to log in is actually the MySQL database login, so there’s no .htaccess.
Check /home/sympl -for a file with the password - the username should be ‘sympl’.
Alternatively, you should be able to reset the ‘sympl’@'localhost user via the normal way using mysql on the command line as root.

Many thanks for quick response. I’m amazed to find that file is still there, but my main problem was having a different username/password combination in my password store, dating back to an earlier PMA installation which authenticated differently.
All good now, thanks!
