Our website use MyBB 1.6 Forums. Under phpMyAdmin environment, I changed password. After I got out, cannot log in again, and cannot even access the forum webpage. What should I do?
The URL is
www.fengyanforum.org
Did you change the password in ./inc/config.php?
Also you should never use the root MySQL user for web applications. You should create a separate user with a separate password.

OK, I should update password in ./inc/config.php as well (cannot do it right now, no ftp connection). But why cannot access phpMyAdmin.
Did you flush your privileges after?

No.
If you're 100% sure the password is correct, try and restart the MySQL daemon.
What commond line will be used? Thanks for all the help.
I'm assuming you have access to the server as you have access to the MySQL root account; service mysqld restart is commonly used for CentOS/Redhat/Fedora installations.

OK, the problem is resolved. I'll create another dabase user account for forum application. Thanks again.
