Overview:

This interface allows you to change a database user’s password. Because this feature does not require the old password, it is useful if a user forgets a password or attackers compromise the account.

Change password

To change a password, perform the following steps:

1. Select the user from the MySQL User menu.

2. Enter and confirm the new password in the appropriate text boxes.

   Note:

   • The system evaluates the password that you enter on a scale of 100 points. 0 indicates a weak password, while 100 indicates a very secure password.

   • Some web hosts require a minimum password strength. A green password Strength meter indicates that the password is equal to or greater than the required password strength.

   • Click Password Generator to generate a strong password. For more information, read our Password & Security documentation.

    

3. Click Change Password.
