sorry i now this question might be the silliest question in the world...

what the hell is my mysql password, or how can i figure it out??

sorry i'm a total mysql / php rooooooooooookie...

you will find it in admin/config.inc.php file

thx very much carbonize!!

i'm learning...

i managed it to change the password... BUT :

as soon i enter the admin panel, and klick on one of the menu options, i get to the password screen and get the message:

"Please enter a valid username and password:"

This usually only happens when people update from 2.2 to 2.3.x and don't alter the database. Have any files or the database been altered recently?

@ carbonize

no, i still run on version 2.2. maybe i made incorrect changes when i trief method 1 ? i changed the user name in the phpadmin manually (browse book_auth / and so on..)

i didn't alter the database...

What do you think phpmyadmin is? book_auth is part of your database.

In book_auth you should have a field called LAST_VISIT which should be of the type timestamp.

What do you think phpmyadmin is?

i have to admit, i have not much of an idea, a program to organise databases?

@ carbonize

i checked it, and it was on timestamp!

it still doesn't work...

Okay. Maybe I am the only one to do this but because after running that zip and going in under the defaults I tried to change my settings and it always reset them. Stupid me thought maybe I could edit the config file so it would match the username and passwords I was trying to set as my logins. Now..... you guessed it.. I cant do squat with it. Is there a way to re install the config.php file and get new info?

Simply get your database info from cPanel and replace it in the config file.

First question, where will I find the information in cpanel. Second, I tried to update my guestbook to a newer version and now the screen I see is all error messages/ warning messages. What did I mess up now ~L~

Depends on what the error messages are. As to the former you should see a SQL link in amongst all the other links. As cPanel uses skins I couldn't say precisely where the link is.

Still no luck finding the database in MySQL so I can replace the password. And These are the error messages:
