Dumb Question about Server/Database Info

[BroCaptRace]

I've been ever-so-slowly working my way through a book on PHP and I've started using databases. When I began, I installed Apache and MySQL on my Win XP computer to access my files without having to upload them. Unfortunately, I've forgotten my login, password, and database names - I can't connect to my DB or see if my code runs without them!

Anyone know where/how to look for this information on my computer? I've had no luck so far digging through the files.

🙁

that will tell you how to reset your root password, you can then list all your databases and users and update their passwords if needed.

All the database files are stored in /mysqldir/data but you shouldnt edit them directly, however it will contain files of all databases you have.
