I want to backup mybb forum db but i forgot the password, can anyone help me? Thanks

Open the config.php file in the inc folder of your MyBB installation: <MyBB root>/inc/config.php

It contains the database server, database name, database username and its password.

mysqldump: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) when trying to connect

Please answer

There's an elephant in the room:

1045: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) when trying to connect

Your mysqldump application still tries to login as MySQL root instead of the user you specified. So there must be something wrong with the command. If e.g. the password is wrong the error should look like the one below.

Command:

Code: (Select All)

mysqldump -u dbuser -p'dbpasswordwrong' testdb >testdb.sql

Result:

Code: (Select All)

mysqldump: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user 'dbuser'@'localhost' (using password: YES) when trying to connect

A correct password will simply create the database .sql dump without any error messages or similar.

Compare your command with mine and you will see major differences.

And this is supposed to tell us what? Did it work or not? Is there a testdb.sql file in /var/www/vhosts/firex-host.com/httpdocs/inc?

The warning is just a warning and not more. Not an error. So posting this output without any comment.... You try really hard to discourage people from helping you. I see.

Great to hear that it finally worked out for you.

Restoring the database can be also done easily via mysql. Just check the "Restoring your MySQL Database" section of http://webcheatsheet.com/sql/mysql_backup_restore.php

Alternatively if you have a webserver on the VPS with PHP you can simply use phpMyAdmin to create, manage, backup and restore databases.
