# How to Change MYSQL ‘da_admin’ User Password

1. Login to mysql server using current **da_admin** and type the following command  at shell prompt:


* Use mysql database(type command at mysql> prompt):
        
||  mysql> use mysql;
 
2. Change password for user da_admin, enter:
     
||  mysql> update user set password=PASSWORD("NEWPASSWD") where User='da_admin';

Finally, reload the privileges with:

      
|    mysql> flush privileges;

|          mysql> quit;

After that, we need to tell directadmin what are the new passwords. Edit with vim/nano or your favorite editor the file:

|| vi /usr/local/directadmin/conf/mysql.conf

Edit the password line and delete the old password and copy the **NEWPASSWD** in place.
