Ice IT Support Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Try deleting and re-creating the database user through cPanel. I would post a query to enter, but I don't believe it would work here (since dropping databases doesn't work either). If it is your cPanel password, please use the password reset form at Stevie.heliohost.org:2082 or Johnny.heliohost.org:2082 P.S. I apologize if this post was too confusing (null) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stgeorge Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Look in the configuration file of the installation you are using for your website.What are you using as I have a list of various CMS config files? You can view the config file in File Manager. It will show your password. Or are you talking about accessing phpMyAdmin from cPanel? If you have changed your cPanel password but did not include phpMyAdmin, simply change it again but include Mail, phpMyAdmin and FTP. If adding a new installation to an existing database. If you can access your database through phpMyAdmin then download a backup and do:No not the databases, just the user. Then Add the User to your existing Database. You now have a new password.However if you have an existing CMS, you will still have to edit the config file and enter the new password for it to connect.
