How to check mysql username and password

[Tideas]

Hello. I'm trying to move from a different host to x10 host. I'm currently using wordpress, and my site, www.project-tideas.com, is telling me that there's something wrong with the database.

From my troubleshooting, it seems that the config.php of wordpress, the username and password of the mysql database might be wrong.

Is there a way I can check it the restore database username and pw now that it's being hosted by x10?

Thanks

Open your wp-config.php, edit the username/password to the new values that you have.

What are these "new values?"

Are they my cpanel login? Or is there a way I can check to see what these new values are?

Go to MySQL managment, make a new user, grant it all privleges on your database, and then enter them into wp-config.php.

thank you so much .

Oh. One last thing. For the DB_host, is it always localhost?

Update: okay, the error is gone, but the website is having a hard time loading. I'm assuming this is the wait-time that's needed in order for the transfer to propagate?

DB Host should always be local host with us.

I'm going to close this but please re-open if you're still having loading issues after last night.
