    Default Changed database password, now I can't access my site

    I have a problem. I went to check some things in my database, forgot my password. No Problem! Just reset it right? Well, I did that and now I can't access my admin or the site.
    I'm pretty sure I just have to enter the password change in my zen files somewhere, I just don't know where.

    I am using Zencart 1.3.9 on a suckDaddy server.

    If I am correct could someone let me know which file?
    If I'm wrong, could you point me the direction I would no go?

    Thanks!

    You will need to change TWO "configure.php" files:

    1.
    includes/configure.php

    2.
    admin/includes/configure.php

    It is likely you have changed the name of your admin folder, so the path in number 2 above should show that name.

    As it is also likely that the PERMISSIONS on these files is CHMOD 0444, you will need to go into your godaddy admin console and change them to 644 before you can edit them.

    Use FTP to bring them across for editing, and do this in a PLAIN TEXT EDITOR.

    After editing, remember to CHMOD them back to 444.

    If you changed the password on your database then you need to fix the settings in the files:
    /includes/configure.php
    /your_secret_admin_dir/includes/configure.php
