How to retrieve Bitnami WordPress password LightSail

AWS is a popular and reliable cloud computing platform. It offers a huge range of database, storage & content delivery, compute, mobile as well as other services. In fact, it allows users to host simple websites in addition to complex mobile or web applications in the cloud.

Bitnami allows us to become productive with the new server almost immediately with its pre-packaged application images.

Furthermore, it offers application instance images, also known as blueprints that we can create as Amazon Lightsail instances. In turn, we can use these Lightsail instances as our virtual private servers.

According to our Support Team, the default application, as well as database user names for Lightsail instances for WordPress as well as WordPress Multisite, include:

• Application user name: user
• Database user name: root

Furthermore, we can retrieve these by connecting to the instance via an SSH terminal in the Lightsail console and running a command.

How to retrieve password

1. First, we have to sign in to the Lightsail console.
2. Then, select the quick connect icon next to the instance we want to connect to. Alternatively, we can also click the “Connect using SSH” button available on the server detail page that leads to a screen like the one below:

   
3. Now, we will enter the command seen below in order to access the application password:

   cat bitnami_application_password

   Our Support Techs would like to point out that we will have the command below in case we are not in the user home directory:

    cat $HOME/bitnami_application_password.
4. Next, we have to highlight the password and then select the clipboard icon at the bottom right corner of the SSH client window. This will allow us to copy the password to the local clipboard.

Our Support Engineers recommend saving the password securely for future use. We may also change it to a password that is easier to remember.
