Database Error - entire site is down *help*

[Sawa Dee SohL]

All I did was change the password to the database (forgot the current one so I basically made a new one)

Now I get:

Database Error Database error
The database has encountered a problem.

What can I do to fix it?

I'm thinking I need to change a password in the Software, but I'm not sure..

You need the password in vBulletin's configuration file to match the new password you gave the database.

Change it in /path/to/forums/includes/config.php

Yup... we assumed that's what we needed to do, but forgot what file it was done in. We got it solved. Thanks for the info.

Lesson was learned
