  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS.

After I login to plesk and change the password I log out.
I come back a few seconds later and load the browser to log-in again and I get this:

------SNIP------

ERROR: PleskMainDBException
[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver]Access denied for user 'admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

This "reset your MYSQL password" doesnt work either. :(

Please HELP!
 
FIXED IT.

Put skip-grant-table in the ini file.
RESTART Plesk SQL service
RUN "%plesk_bin%\plesksrvclient.exe" -set your_old_password_before_you_changed_it true
RESTART Plesk SQL service
to verify:
RUN "%plesk_bin%\plesksrvclient.exe" -get
Now your password has been set to whatever it was before you changed it. At least you can log-in. I suspect I have some permission problems with the mysql database.

Oh well, at least its Friday!

Aloha!
