Where does Civi store the password for its access to mysql

[civieric]

When I try to access Civi in a WP installation I'm getting a DB connect fail because of "access denied for user." I'm presuming that somehow the password for that user in mysql got changed or the password in the Civi install got changed. (It used to work.)  I can go into mysql and set a new password there for the user. I'm not having luck finding where I would change the password in the existing Civi files.

Thanks.

That will be stored in the civicrm.settings.php file, but I am not sure where that would be located in Wordpress installs? Does that help?

Took me a while to spot it on the WordPress CiviCRM wiki page (mentioned under Locate and Backup the CiviCRM settings file), it should be at wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm.settings.php.

In that file you should see some define statements with MySQL DB URLs in.

Found it. I was there once and looked right over it. My bad. Reset the password for the CIVICRM_DSN user and I'm in.

Thanks.
