How do I change my MySQL password?

You can change your MySQL password easily in a single step from within Modwest™ Onsite.

Another way to change your MySQL password is by using the MySQL Monitor at a shell prompt. To do it this way instead, first telnet or SSH into modwest.com with the username/password you signed up with. Then, to get from the shell prompt to the MySQL Monitor, see this FAQ.

Finally, at the "mysql>" prompt, type:

set password = password("yournewpassword");

To leave the Monitor, type: quit

For more convenient access to the MySQL Monitor, see this FAQ on how to use a .my.cnf file.

If you change your mysql password, then you will need to edit all your
scripts and programs that use the old password.

If you don't know your MySQL password, you will have to reset it
yourself in your control panel.

You can only change the mysql password from a shell prompt if you know
the old password.
