Resetting the MySQL root password

You can reset your MySQL root password using WebHost Manager. This function should only be used if you are unable to change the password and have received a permission denied error.

Try to reset the password using the Set MySQL Root Password function first before following this procedure. Refer to Setting the MySQL root password for more information.

To reset the MySQL root password:
