Changing Your MySQL Password

If MySQL is enabled for your site, you can change your MySQL password at any time. We suggest you change your password after the first time you log on the MySQL interface.

Important: The control panel creates a random MySQL password when it creates a site with MySQL support. You must reset the MySQL password when you log onto the Site Administrator control panel for the first time. This is important so that your MySQL password is not invalidated when you install the script packages enabled for the site.

To change your MySQL password:

1. Click the Shortcuts tab on the Home page.
   

   To get to the Home page, click Home on the navigation bar at left.

2. In the shortcuts area, click Change Password (MySQL section).

   The Change Database Administrator Password form opens.

   Note: Only your service provider can change the Database Administrator name, which appears in the Database Administrator field.

3. In the New Password field, enter a new password.
4. In the Retype New Password field, type the password again to confirm it.
5. Click Update.
