    Default how to change password of database user from cpanel?

    I have a dedicated server but I would to modify password of user of database directly from cpanel, how can I do?


    I previously on site and on cpanel I have created a database without user, so I have installed zencart, and so if I would to modify the password of files config of zen cart I modified the password of cpanel (in general, ftp password), and then I modified the password (the same) on config of zen cart.

    Now I have installed a new database and a new version of zen cart and now I have created a database and a user associated, so if I now modify the password of ftp (cpanel) and config of zencart it doesn't go now.

    So I would to know if it is possible to modify password of user of db from cpanel?

    Or if I delete the user without loss of data of database?

    Please.
    Thank you in advance

    you should be able to delete the sql user with no data loss

    just delete the user and create new one with known password

    zen cart will need a user to be able to add to or read the database

    but NO you dont HAVE to add a user to a database - I dont think you will be able to use it without a user but thats not what you asked

    thank you it goes perfectly.

    Another question, but if I don't insert a user for database is the same?
    Can I have (for safe for example) the database without user?

    Thank you very much



    confirm that I am able to use without user associated.
