mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: tells you everything you want to know.

The username and/or password for connecting to your mysql database is incorrect. Contact your host to find out the correct info and once you have that info you can enter it into application.php and everything should work again.

application.php is where its all stored, this file lives in the root of indexu.

Out of intrest what happens when you connect to phpMyAdmin ?

I had a simmllar issue and the host had stopped me from connecting through "localhost" and i had to use the domain name.

my host just changed my password for the hosting account

I guess this is your Cpannel/ftp password, you dont need to add this to indexu to get it working.
What you need to find out is if your database still exists, and if so check to see if you have a user set to your indexu database.
This can all be done through your cpannel

It's not common for a host to change a users passwords. This usually only happens when a user or a server is hacked.

When it is done, all passwords on the server are typically changed.

The only other real reason a users password is changed on them is because they lost it and requested a new one.

Otherwise there is no reason for a host to change a password.

Otherwise there is no reason for a host to change a password.

It wouldn't be the first time we saw a host, for no apparent reason, just up and make changes without informing hosting clients.

[Bruceper]

You're right, but it shouldn't happen.

Actually there is one other reason which I failed to mention but this doesn't change the password. Some hosts force users to change their password every X days. What happens is that after you login after X days you are forced to change the login. But like I said, that doesn't change the password on you.

If you need to change DB username or password, that can be done by editing application.php.

If your admin password for the site needs to be change, there are two methods. One is by going into phpMyAdmin and manually editing the DB. I'm pretty sure your going to want to go into idx_user, find 'admin' and there you'll be able to edit the password.

The other method is that there is a tool you can use. Its located within the IndexU package you downloaded in the folder 'do_not_upload'.
