Yet Another WP User on "Changing MySQL Database Password"

$

0

Hello everyone

When we install Wordpress for the first time on a blog, we create new database, new user and set a new password for it. We give the same details in wp-config.php file.

Now I want to change database password but I'm worried that nothing should go wrong while doing this. So I need your expert advice.

Which are the places which contain database password details and which places should I change to change the db password.

According to my knowledge, I should do as following:

1. First change db password using cPanel -> Databases -> MySQL Databases. Here it allows me to change current user password.

2. After changing password, set the same in wp-config.php file.

Is it sufficient? Will it work or there are some other places which I should also change like MySQL, etc?

Thanks in advance for any kind of help.
