How can I login to PHPMyAdmin on AWS Lightsail?

Question

I just set up an AWS Lightsail account and chose the LAMP installation, provided by Bitnami.

According to the Bitnami documentation, to connect to PHPMyAdmin, you create an SSH tunnel and browse to the path giving. Great, I can see the login page, but where do I get the credentials?

To log in, use username root for MySQL and the application password from the detail page for your cloud server.

What password are they talking about?

It is not the password to login to my AWS Console. Nor is it, as some threads on the Bitnami site suggest, bitnami or bitnami1.

Anyone what what password the service is looking for?

Answer 1

The password is found by connecting to server via SSH and running the command cat bitnami_application_password.

Answer 2

• Username: root (it's default)
• Password: MnQERJ8gcHkQ (Like this) .Connect to Bitnami Lightsail through SSH on Lightsail Dashboard to access the command line tool. Using cat bitnami_application_password to get the password, this is the same with the password you access to Wordpress (based on Lightsail) in the first time.

Answer 3

Everything is explained in the Bitnami Documentation:

https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/faq/#using-amazon-lightsail

You can find information there regarding how to find your credentials depending on the AWS service you used to launch your server.
