General Questions/New to Joomla! 3.x • Re: Cannot connect to 3.10.12 database

I set up a new database name and username but used the same psw. How can I setup a new password?
Go to phpMyAdmin, select the database from the left pane and click the tab Privileges in the list of tabs at the top. Is the username listed and does it have privileges granted to the database?

If the username does not have the privileges to the database, click 'Edit privileges' and grant them to the user. If the password is not working and you are unable to access the backend of Joomla, write-enable and edit the file file configuration.php in the main Joomla folder. Use a proper text editor like vi or the one in the File Manager - Edit in cPanel and set the desired password in this line:

Code:

public $password = 'my-password';
It looks like the only option in phpMyAdmin to change the password manually is to create a new user and set the password there. The username and the password from phpMyAdmin have to match the username and password in the Global Configuration, the file configuration.php in the main Joomla folder.
