So about 6 months ago I set up a wheezy server and at the same time I installed MySQL even though I didn't need it.

I've now updated to Jessie and need the database but can not remember the password as I made it rather secure. I thought I wrote it down somewhere but can not find it sigh. This is rather a noob thing to do and I am quite embarrassed by it.

Thank you in advance for your help.

If you have an app connected to it, the password should be stored in a config file. Usually other parts of the system depending on what you are running will store the password in plain text. I would also try opening phpmyadmin possibly your browser saved the password and you can export the data that way.
