Accessing MySql Data on local machine I have never worked with MySql.

I have some old/crude software running on my machine. It holds a lot of data that I would like access to since the UI is garbage. After searching around the file directories I found what appears to be a MySql database.

C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\Program Name\mdb\bin

Inside of this directory is a my.ini file along with several others. Also several folders including data.

Inside C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\Program Name\mdb\bin\data are ib_logfile0, ibdata1, and other folders/files including frm.

In Sql Server I'd attach it to SSMS, but I can't seem to do that here. I tried copying all the files to the local MySQL ProgramData folder then opening MySQL workbench. But I never see any tables in the Schema section.

My question is: Is there a way for me to access these tables? I have installed MySql and attempted to connect to this database with no luck.  Is there a way to access usernames or can I just use a root account?

Thanks in advance.
Look in your my.ini file where the variable "datadir" points.
Install another mysql (same version or sup better) and copy everything from "datadir" to the new "datadir" in the new installation, start the mysql service. Look in the log maybe you have to run mysql_upgrade script or face another issue, then connect to the database via the workbench.
