There are two easy ways:

1. In your cpanel Go to cpanel/ softaculous/ wordpress, under the current installation, you will see the websites you have installed with the wordpress. Click the "edit detail" of the particular website and you will see your SQL database username and password.

2. In your server Access your FTP and view the wp-config.php
