This guide explains how to change the password of a MySQL / MariaDB database for a Web Hosting.

Preamble

• Refer to this other guide if you are looking for information about updating connection details (scripts, sites...) related to a database password change.
• A database user created following the installation of a Web Application (offered by Infomaniak) cannot be modified (a lock icon appears next to it, see point 5 below).
• To access the database to which it is attached, you must create a new database user with the password of your choice and then grant it rights to the desired database.

Change the MySQL MariaDB etc. password.

To do this, you need to act on the user associated with the database in question and change their password (without having to provide the old one) from the Infomaniak Manager:

1. Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
2. Click directly on the name assigned to the relevant product.
3. Click on Databases in the left sidebar.
4. Click on the Users tab.
5. Click on the action menu ⋮ located to the right of the relevant item.
6. Click on Edit:
   
7. Click on Change the password.
8. Enter the desired new password.
9. Click on the Save button:
   
10. If necessary, you can configure the new rights for accessing the existing databases on the hosting.
