Overview

If you forgot your database account password or need to change it while using TencentDB for MySQL, you can reset it in the console.

Note：

• For TencentDB for MySQL, the password resetting feature has been connected to CAM; therefore, we recommend that you exercise tighter control over the permission to this API (password resetting) or sensitive resources (i.e., TencentDB for MySQL instances) by granting such permission only to appropriate personnel.
• For data security, we recommend that you regularly reset the password at least once every three months.

Directions

1. Log in to the TencentDB for MySQL console. In the instance list, click an instance ID or Manage in the Operation column to access the instance management page.
2. On the instance management page, select Database Management > Account Management, find the account for which to reset the password, and click Reset Password or select More > Reset Password.
   
3. In the pop-up window, enter a new password, confirm the password, and click OK.

   Note：

   The password should be a combination of 8–64 characters containing at least two of the three types: letters, digits, and symbols (_+-&=!@#$%^*()).
