Change database passwords or delete a database
Coordinate credential changes with dependent applications.
Before you begin
A backup and an inventory of applications using the login.
Use the controls offered by your installed version and account permissions. This guide describes the workflow; it does not grant additional access.
Follow the steps
- Identify the full database user in Databases.
- Change its password through the supported action.
- Update private application configuration and verify connections.
- Before deleting a database or user, review dependencies and export required data.
- Inspect the result, including associated user removal shown by the form.
Check the result
Applications connect after credential changes; deletion affects the intended scope.
If something goes wrong
A reset can interrupt applications immediately. Database deletion is not troubleshooting for a temporary connection issue.
