Can't connect with MySql Control Center

[pieter333]

Hi,

I changed my root mysql password in WHM.
It said: Your password is now #############

But when I trie to connect with the MySql Control Center program it says acces denied for root@my_internet_provider

What's wrong?

Greetz,
Pieter

Check

/etc/my.cnf

See if the username and password are listed there in quotes "username" (for example)

Remove the quotes. Save changes.

set-variable = max_connections=500

I see only these lines, what am I supposed to do now?
