Duplicator Database, user & password is wrong

[akhijoe]

### Issue Summary

I try to import a Duplicator file into public folder in local but fail at stage where it require me to insert database name, user & password.

Replication

1. Normal installation will have this database input.
   Database name: local
   Username: root
   Password: root

2. But for Duplicator installation, it appear to have different details for its database.
Database name: admin_wp***
Username: admin_wp***
Password: 1enk***

Seems like it’s following the details where I used on my old hosting.

3. I follow the details which appear in the system. But it failed.
4. But I still try to use the normal detail (Database name: local, Username: root, Password: root) but still failed.

System Details

Hey @akhijoe Welcome to the Local Community Forums!

A couple of things to try:

1. I think that Local can import duplicator packages. Can you try dragging and dropping the archive you downloaded onto Local?
2. If that doesn’t work, then you might be able to navigate to the site and update the wp-config.php file to use the default DB settings. It should look something like:

Note that these are the default settings. You’ll want to update:

Database name: admin_wp***
Username: admin_wp***
Password: 1enk***

To use:

Database name: local
Username: root
Password: root
