How to change password for wordpress mysql database ?

[nirajkr]

My website is live for some security reasons I want to change mysql database password. I can access what is the current password in /home/ubuntu/.db_password
It has password stored like this wordpress_mysql_pass="old_password" , I need to change old_password with new_password.

Where else do I need to make changes? I would appreciate any help.

To change the WordPress user password, you might want to change it from the database, or phpmyadmin.
E.g. https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us...nge-Wordpress-User-s-password-with-phpMyAdmin

Hello, remember that if you want to change the password, it has to be encrypted in MD5 so that it can work in msql.
