stapel_eliz Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 I have been advised to change the password on my SQL database, in hopes of securing it (in case the hacker managed to snag that information). However, I can't seem to get the password to update. I've gone into phpMyAdmin inside my cPanel, and tried setting a new password. Then I changed the password in the config.php file. But I can't log in with the new password; however, the old password continues to work. I've tried setting up a new user with a new password, while removing the old user. After updating the config file, I couldn't log in with the new info, but I could still log in with the old info. I tried deleting the old user completely. After updating the config file, I still couldn't log in with the new info, but I could still log in with the old info. I tried importing the old database into a new database (with a new name), and creating a new user with a new password for the new database. After updating the config file, I couldn't log in with the new info, but I could still log in with the old info. What the frick am I doing wrong? Thank you. Eliz.

andrewatfornax Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 I've never used a cPanel based host before, so your mileage may vary on the results here, but: https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=change%20mysql%20password%20with%20cpanel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
