Again, is it possible to change the cPanel password without it changing my MySQL password also? When I use the Change Password icon in cPanel, I get the following message:

-- Start Message --
Password Maintenance

Updated postgresql password
Updated mySQL password

Your password has been changed!
-- End Message --

The database password gets changed as well as the cPanel login password!! Is there a way to change JUST the cPanel login password and NOT the database password??

You can ssh in
and change the password for your *nix user, this will change the cpanel pass. However I think cpanel will sync it to mysql at a later time, though i am not sure.

Give it a try on a test account

ssh into your server as the user u want to change
then 

passwd
enter pass
enter pass again

Thanks Paul.

I don't have SSH access right now. When I get it, I'll fool around with it. I'm worried about the fact that MySQL *may* sync later.

I think I'll just change my password in cPanel, then change the password in my PHP code for the database calls and be done with it.
