changed mysql password and lost my whole site!

[scottgallagher]

Hello I'm in a bit of a mess, I changed my mysql password since i missplaced my old one and lost my whole site. i found the password in the configure.php but phpMyadmin would not let me change my password to anything starting with a number which apparently was in the old password. so since i coundnt change my old password back through the phpmyadmin control panel i tried to change the text in configure.php to the new password but still to dice. somebody please help!

thanks

Zen Cart uses the DB_XXXXXX settings in your 2 configure.php files to access the database.
You need to update those settings in those files.
Remember that the 2 configure.php files on your server are likely read-only for security reasons, so you'll need to change their permissions to make them writable before uploading your changes to them, and then put them back to whatever read-only state they were in prior to your changes.

I did the same thing. Where are the configure.php files? I can only find configuration.php files.

Never mind, I found them in admin/includes and includes. Thanks anyway.
