phpMyAdmin
Open phpMyAdmin from the panel and sign in with a database user to browse tables, run queries, and import or export a database.
phpMyAdmin is a web page for working inside your MySQL databases: looking at tables, changing rows, running SQL, and importing or exporting a whole database. It is not part of the panel itself. The panel opens the phpMyAdmin of the server your hosting account is on, in a new browser tab, and you sign in there with a database user.
Open phpMyAdmin
- In the panel, open Databases → phpMyAdmin. You can also click phpMyAdmin at the top of MySQL® Databases, or Open phpMyAdmin on the last step of the Database Wizard.
- phpMyAdmin opens in a new tab and asks you to sign in.
- Enter the database's user name, with its prefix (for example
acme_wp), and that user's password. - Sign in. The database appears in the list on the left.


Each database user only sees its own database. To work on another database, sign out and sign in with that database's user.
What you can do there
- Browse and edit: click a table to see its rows, and edit or delete single rows.
- SQL: run your own queries against the database.
- Export: download the database as an
.sqlfile, for example before a big change. - Import: load an
.sqlfile into the database, for example when moving a site to Zeyo Host.
Forgot the password?
phpMyAdmin uses the database user's password, not your panel password. If you do not have it, set a new one with Change Password in MySQL® Databases, then update your application's configuration with it too.
