Firstly, apologies for the delay in responding here.

To find out the database settings of an HPC (High Performance Computing) system in 2019, you will need to have access to the configuration files or system administrator account for the HPC system.

You can follow the steps below to find out the database settings:

• Connect to the HPC system using a terminal or SSH client.
• Navigate to the directory where the database configuration files are stored. This may vary depending on the database management system (DBMS) and the operating system used on the HPC system.
• Look for a configuration file that contains the database settings, such as a .cnf or .ini file. These files often contain information about the database hostname, port number, username, and password.
• If you cannot find the database configuration file or if it does not contain the password, you may need to check for other configuration files or system logs to find the password.
• If you are unable to find the password or if it has changed, you can try resetting the password using the database management system's command line interface or by contacting the system administrator.

It is important to note that the specific steps to find and modify the database settings on an HPC system may vary depending on the DBMS and operating system used.

Hope this helps.

Hi @vipullag-MSFT

I have searched for the HPC installation folder, but I have not found any cnf or ini files, even I have changed the reg file. However, as long as my database account changes its password, the HPC service will not be able to start, therefore, I want to know where HPC keep the DB account password.

Thank you
