recover database password from filesystem

Ok, so don't laugh. Even if it's funny.

I have lost my MySQL password (the hosting is one.com, and they don't let you change the database password, or have more than one MySQL user. of course it's a random string, and therefore impossible to remember.

It must be stored somewhere in the file system, since it couldn't be in a database :/

I have access to the files (yes, one.com does give you limited ftp access... ) and would like the password for some stuff I'm developing on the side. Where can I find it?

Thanks,
-E

The password for your database user account can be found in mainfile.php if that helps?

Now that you have been given a legitimate answer, can I just {snicker} a little.... {{pretty please}} In view of the past conversation on password retrieval, your timing was a bit funny...

Glad you got your answer....

I can only begin to guess what that means... Sure, have your snicker, or an outright laugh if you feel inclined. I don't care. I'm back in phpmyadmin. {{stuck-up}}
