Resolved Plesk admin can't change MySQL password

[Dukemaster]

Hi @ all ,

Since a few weeks I use Plesk panel editor, in panel I made only 1. change (4096 for ssl) which has nothing to do with database usage at all.

This good support thread by @UFHH01 is the right one but it's more necessary if a password is already set before. In my case I think the root pw is used for MySql. I can only change it after setting one first or activating the whole function.
Help would be great.

Hi Dukemaster,

First, sorry, stupid question is. Why can't I change nor set a password via Plesk Panel like described in Plesk docus?

Which official description at the documentation are you referencing, please?

In my case I think the root pw is used for MySql

Correct. The user "admin" has the very same password setup, as the user "root", which is done within your Plesk installation. This means as well, that the MySQL - password for the user "admin" is as well the very same password.

I can only change it after setting one first or activating the whole function.

Pls. RE-READ the suggestions from your mentioned thread and you will find as well:

=> How to get or reset password for admin account in Plesk
and
=> admin: Administration Panel Preferences​

... which should answer all your ( possible ) related questions.

*** edit *** @UFHH01 thanks for the link you gave me, but there is no need to get retrieve a temporary or new Plesk password. But it's great for user who are not familiar with it. I wondered about the (now) removed option in Onyx changing MySQL password apart from Plesk password.
Your link explains the informations well with additional informations. Great.

Greets and thanks

Hi Dukemaster,

Except for the situations described below, you cannot change the credentials through Plesk

If you have changed the administrator's credentials on the database server, it is necessary to change them in Plesk as well.

But which is most important:

Note: In most cases, updating the credentials through Plesk does not change them on the database server.

Yes, that's exactly what I edited in my last post.
And your last "Note" it's also very useful and important to know.
