how do i get the username??

  • i downloaded bitnami and xampp, in order to install wordpress.com locally and learn.

    when i try to log into my wordpress “blog” it asks me for a password and a username.

    which username?

    installation never asked me to choose a username.

    wordpress gives me the option of retrieving (or re-creating) a password, but nothing about username.

    i have uninstalled and re-installed twice bitnami & xampp, but there’s nothing about username.

    in advance, thank you very much

  • Whenever I install WordPress it asks me to choose a user name, not using bitnami myself so just maybe it is different.
    You can find your username from your database using the database tool phpmyadmin, load it and examine the “<thing>users” table

    Hi,
    I’s simple.Delete your WP installation.Delete the DB associated with it.
    Now create a new DB via phpmyadmin interface with any name you like.
    No extract a new WP site in your www (if you’re on wamp) or htdocs (if you’re on xampp). Before browsing your new installation go get a copy of your wp-config.php and give it the DB name you just created and also the password.
    Now browse your WP and go through the installation. You should be asked about the username and password. you’re done.
    If there’s still something wrong, there shouldn’t.

    Renaming WordPress administration with phpMyAdmin

    For those feeling a little more adventurous, you can change your user name in cPanel and phpMyAdmin.

    First you’ll need to access your cPanel and scroll down until you find phpMyAdmin.

    phpmyadmin
    Then select the database blog we want to change the user name.

    On the left side you should see a list of all tables in the database. Click on the one that says wp_users. Then click on the user name you want to edit.

    admin name change
    User_login change the value to whatever you want, click the “Continue” button and you’re done.

    Now go back to your site and remember to sign in with your new username.
