Where can I find the password for newly created Linode WordPress?

Following our Deploy WordPress through the Linode Marketplace guide, there's a section titled Obtain the Credentials. This section covers both how to access the Linode and where to go for the credentials once you've gained access.

In the options while deploying the Marketplace App, there's an option for disabling root access over SSH. If that was selected, you can use either:

• Use the limited user created in the deployment options to connect via SSH
• Use Lish to use the root user to connect to the compute instance. If you do not have the root user password, you can reset the root password via the Cloud Manager.

Once connected to the instance, run the following command to get the credentials:

cat /root/.linode_credentials.txt

1. mysql -u root -p

2. USE wordpress_db;

3. SELECT ID, user_login FROM wp_users;

4. UPDATE wp_users SET user_pass = MD5('new_password') WHERE user_login = 'admin';

5. EXIT;
