Any suggestion for retrieving a lost db password? I think I made a typo when setting up the database or recorded it wrong. I do not have control over the database server as it is part of my shared hosting account. Is there any way to get access to the database or reset the password?

What is the database and what is the hosting control panel?

Sorry, I guess I am so used to using the same thing I get confused. The lost password is on mysql and phpmyadmin is the database interface with cpanel.

Can't you just create a new mysql user if worse came to worse?

You can reset your MySQL password from cPanel.

You can? I ended up wiping the database and redoing it. How can you reset it? I was not able to find it. although with all the different looks cpanel has it is hard to find stuff some times.
