I have somehow lost my superadmin pw and username. Is there a way to recover it from the db?
The passwords are saved in plaintext, so yes, you can look it up in the server.dbs (search for "superadmin").
Or, more conveniently, open the server.log and look at the first entry. When your server starts up and notices it is still a virgin it creates an admin login with SA privileges and a superadmin account. Or delete your server.log, server.ini and server.dbs, but then you lose all channels and registered users.

Thank You.
what user name do you want ? It's either the "Admin" or "Superadmin" you can get out from the server.dbs.
As soon as you have them, connect to your webadmin and check the rest of the users there.
username :superadmin {or} admin
password : <{whatever it is for that admin level}>
