MySQL on phpmyadmin question

So I'm using an open source project I located on github as a shell that I plan on modifying. In the readme, they provided instructions on how to get everything up and running which I did. On this, they have an authentication system already in place and I ran all the SQL Query's they provided. In turn it build all the necessary tables, columns, etc.

 

However, they neglected to provide any credentials to use, to gain access to the admin. So, is there a way for me to go into the database and extract this information? And worst case, let's say it doesn't exist, is there a way to create one in the database from scratch to provide me with admin rights?

the answer is it depends. it depends on if they provided a default admin account or on what the admin side code is doing. you would need to investigate what if anything was stored in the any database tables associated with authentication/permissions or what the code is doing to identify an admin login.

 

without knowing what script you are using, there's no way of providing any definitive answer due to the multiple different possible ways any one thing could be accomplished in a program.
