I did something pretty stupid and lost my database user and password.I want to edit a file on server with notepad++,but of course i must provide user and pass to access the server-editing the connection(also in that file i am trying to access-index.php-i would have these data to connect to database).I tried using table inspector on that file(an application) but it doesn't show php code(where i have my database connection user and pass) only html code.Editing the path to the file in notepad++ also show only html code in a "index[1].php" file.Is there any way to retrieve my user and pass?I know it seems like hacking,but i'm just trying to access my own files and my own mysql database

if your own database server. stop database. and start database with skip-grant-tables option. contain this option to your my.cnf(or my.ini). now you can access your database without username and password. then reset your account and restart database server without skip-grant-tables option
