How to Recover Forgotten Database Passwords from MySQL Query Browser

In this article, you’ll learn where MySQL Query Browser stores your login passwords, how they are protected, and how you can easily recover them.
MySQL Query Browser Password Secrets
MySQL Query Browser saves all your database connection details in a file called “mysqlx_user_connections.xml” at following location
[Windows Vista/7/8/10] C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\MySQL\mysqlx_user_connections.xml [Windows XP/2003] C:\Documents and Settings\[user_name]\Application Data\MySQL\mysqlx_user_connections.xml
Here is the sample of database connection details stored in this file
<user_connection>
<connection_name>Xenarmor Connection</connection_name>
<username>xenarmor</username>
<hostname>192.168.0.100</hostname>
<port>3306</port>
<schema>xendatabase</schema>
<advanced_options/>
<storage_path></storage_path>
<notes></notes>
<connection_type>0</connection_type>
<storage_type>1</storage_type>
<password>01000000D0......68C10E</password>
</user_connection>
Here “hostname”, “username” & “password” fields refers to database server, user login & encrypted password respectively.
