MyBB Community Forums

Last night, I was noticing my site was getting a little more popular and I thought it would be better to change my ftp password since my old one wasn't to great. So I changed it and now it gives me this error :

MySQL error: 1045
Access denied for user '***'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
Query:

*** = My username


Anyone know how I can fix this without messing up my forums?

Thanks in advance!

looks like you have not just changed your FTP password but also your mysql password.

maybe using a root password? Stuff like cpanel has default root passwords that can be used on the lot ..

Changing your FTP password wouldn't do this. It's not even needed by MyBB. You changed your MySQL password and you need to contact your host to figure out how to update it on your MySQL DB

I assume you are on Cpanel.
Did you change the FTP password for the main username?(the one which you use to login into your cpanel). If yes, than that changes your MySQL password too!
So update your password in the inc/config.php file[in the first section of the file under DATABASE CONFIGURATION]
