• sudo nano /home/cyberpanel/.my.cnf
• sudo nano /etc/cyberpanel/mysqlPassword

 

 

Run Command sudo nano /usr/local/CyberCP/CyberCP/settings.py

Scroll Down and find the above section, then only change the password of root user as shown above and strictly don’t touch anything. Next click ctrl+O then hit Enter and ctrl+X finally.

then run second command sudo nano /home/cyberpanel/.my.cnf 

Sometimes it doesn’t contain anything in the file, if you will find any old password then change it or exit from the console by hitting ctrl+O.

The run final command sudo nano /etc/cyberpanel/mysqlPassword

 

And, delete the old password and update the new one then click ctrl+O -> Enter -> ctrl+X .
