A couple days ago I went to log into my web host account which hosts my site, a phpBB forum and my Coppermine gallery, and was told that my password was outdated and needed changed. I did so and everything was fine. I then did some mandatory security updates to the phpBB forum. (I don't know if this has anything to do with the problem, I'm just including it here to show recent changes.)

Anyway, I went to log in this morning to the Coppermine galleries and got the following error message:

================
Coppermine critical error:
Unable to connect to database !

MySQL said: Access denied for user 'xxxx'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

=================

(My username above is edited for this post.)

I didn't make any Coppermine-specific changes that I'm aware of to trigger this error message, so what do I do now? How can I reset my password? Thanks!

Enter the correct password in include/config.inc.php

Cool! Thank you very much! Everything works again. I figured it would need changing somewhere but didn't know where.  ;D
