Changed database password - can't log in

I had to change my database password after my site got hacked.

I can't change the database password back to what it was - my host won't let me use an old password.

I am getting this error:

"Script Error
Cannot connect to MySQL: Access denied for user"

How do I change this information in aMember? I don't want to reinstall it. I just want to change the database password to match the new one.

THanks,
Ann Marie

Hi, can you please tell me what part of the code in config.inc.php I'm supposed to edit?

I've searched through the file several times and I don't see any database password information.

Thanks!

PHP:

  $pc = array();
    $pc['db']   = 'xxxx_xxxxxx';         // database name
    $pc['user'] = 'xxxx_xxxxxx';         // db-Username
    $pc['pass'] = 'xxxxxxxxx';           // db-Password
    $pc['host'] = 'localhost';
    $pc['prefix'] = 'amember_';
    $pc['charset'] = ''; // replace with 'utf8' for example


Note above around line 30. I have added the comments

Thank you.

I was looking at the wrong file. No idea how I did that since it was named the same thing.

I found it now.

OK I changed the info in config.inc.php and now I am getting this error:


Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STATIC, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /nfs/c05/h04/mnt/78890/domains/cheeseslave.com/html/menus/tabs.inc.php on line 155

OK I did a little googling and found out that it was a PHP error - I went in to my host and reset the server from PHP4 to PHP5.

Works now.

Thanks!
