I got this error after upgrading Psa8.1.1 to Psa8.2.0:

mysqld (pid 22908) is running...
Trying to establish test connection... ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

ERROR while trying to establish test connection

I read something about a "#" in the admin password which i have but i can't login to Plesk anymore to change the password.

Anyone got a solution?

Thanks in advance
 
at bare minimum this part will tell you

mysql -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow`

if it cant login check to see if its the right password in the shadow file
 
Yeps can login without any troubles, but are not allowed to change the admin pass.
 
I installed phpmyadmin manualy and could still login with the admin password from Plesk, i changed the pass (without #) started the upgrade again and it works!

Thanks
