 * Installing a plugin on my site broke all access to my site. I need to disable
   it. However i cannot login to phpMyAdmin. There is no “Forgot Password” option.
   Sometimes i get a 500 error, or blank page when trying to login. I have had messages
   suggesting i am using http instead of https – how do i know and how to change
   it? (I am using the online Google Cloud WordPress Deployment, which lists passwords
   for various connections. But the cloud panel has way too much for a non-professional.)
 * So, how do I get in to remove the plugin? None of the FAQ’s address this.
   Below
   is phpMyAdmin Report:
 * Failed to set session cookie. Maybe you are using HTTP instead of HTTPS to access
   phpMyAdmin.
   Deprecation Notice in ./vendor/twig/twig/src/Loader/FilesystemLoader.
   php#40realpath(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($path) of type string is deprecated
 * Backtrace
 * ./vendor/twig/twig/src/Loader/FilesystemLoader.php#40: realpath(NULL)
   ./libraries/
   classes/Template.php#65: Twig\Loader\FilesystemLoader->__construct(string ‘templates/’)./

 * You login to PHPMYADMIN with the same credentials you use for the DB_ parameters
   in wp-config.php, DB_NAME and DB_PASS. If y ou need help with this, please contact
   your host, as phpmyadmin is not at all part of WP.
 * However, you can just remove the offending plugin by deleting it using FTP or
   the file manager in your hosting control panel. Navigate to wp-content/plugins
   and rename or delete the director for the problem plugin.
