O.P. Cpanel>MYSQL Root pass?
Is there a way to find out what the root password for Mysql? I am running cpanel, and need the root password but have no idea what it is or where I can get it off my server. I need this for a script like phpmyadmin to manage databases.

Yes, I know phpmyadmin is installed..this is for something else. I need the root password.

then you can't get the root username or password.

There's no way I can do this at all? I would be getting a custom script from someone that would add/delete databases for my hosting, but I need the root password:S

if you're on shared hosting, then you don't even own the mysql database, so if you had the root password, you would be able to access everyone's databases, even ones that aren't yours :/

just create a second user (named "louhabs_root" or something) that has "ALL" permission to every database you've got set up.
