Hi Chris,

MySQL user has different password than account's control panel. If you have Cpanel then you need to add same mySQL user with new password so it will change password for that user and if you have plesk panel then you can change mySQL user's password from Home >> Domains >> example.com >> Databases >> db_name >> then click on username to change password.

databases don't have passwords, users do. find the user you're using to access it and change their password.
