Changed Server Password, can't get into Admin Panel

[twitchtoo]

Thank you Twitch for your reply, but I found the problem.

For other people's reference, here is how i found the problem:

In the Admin, under Tools I used the "developers toolkit" to search for the old password in all the .php files, and there I found a file 'configure.php' in the main includes file. This is a different file than the one that is found in the renamed-admin-folder.

Just changed the db password on that file and now it works fine. So for future reference to other searchers, there are 2 different configure.php files that need to be updated when the db password changes. One is in the main includes folder, the other is in the includes sub folder inside the renamed-admin-folder.

Good luck to all.

Ah my bad the way I read it I assumed you knew there were two... but glad you found the fix!

Not at all I am grateful for the reply! I knew it had to be something like that but I just didn't realize it was in 2 places. Glad for the developer's toolkit search fuction (and that I knew the old password!).

For the record I want to add these keywords to the thread:

database password change

so if anybody searches for this problem with these words hopefully this solution will come up, and they will know there are 2 different configure.php files that need to be updated. I used the abbreviation 'db' that may not come up in a search for the word database.
