    Is there any way to view the current MySQL password on cPanel DNSOnly installation? I can login to it using mysql command but want to view the current one. There is no way to change it via Web UI.

    Hello,

    The MySQL root password is stored in the /root/.my.cnf file by default.

    Thank you.

    On cPanel installation - yes, but on cPanel DNSOnly - there is no such file.

    Hello,

    Is it possible it exists at another location? You can try finding it with a command such as:

    Code:
    find / -name ".my.cnf"
    If it doesn't exist, you can manually create this file in the /root directory with root ownership and 0600 permissions. Then, ensure the contents look like this:

    Code:
    [client]
password=MySQLRootPasswordHere
user=root
    Once this file is setup, you can follow the instructions to reset the MySQL root password from the top answer on a third-party URL like this:

    Change mysql root password on Centos7

    Thank you.
