In earlier versions of Plesk, the admin password was stored as clear-text in a file in /etc/psa. They finally fixed that hole, and the password is stored encrypted. This is a very good thing. In any scripts (like database backup scripts) that need to use that password for access to mysql, where in the old days you would have:
`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow`
You now can replace that with:
`/usr/local/psa/bin/admin --show-password`
Fine, this all sounds good. However I've run into a strange issue: the admin password stored
by the system and revealed through this command doesn't work with mysql directly.
