Recovering lost Amazon RDS master user login details


The method specified in this tutorial does not seem to work for me.

When I run rds-describe-db-instances with correct region, it says:

improperly formatted command

Any thoughts on how to recover the user login details?


Solution

  • If you are using the aws cli tools:

    aws rds describe-db-instances --db-instance-identifier <db name> | grep Master
