For security, I changed the CPanel password for an account via WHM. There’s a checkbox option that says “Sync MySQL password with account password.”
If I go ahead and change the password, does that create a problem for WordPress that’s installed on that domain?
If that changes the MySQL password that WordPress is using, and it sounds like it does, then yes you will have a problem, but not a big one. You’d need to edit
wp-config.phpand changedefine('DB_PASSWORD','oldpass');todefine('DB_PASSWORD','newpass');Beyond that, the question is a CPanel question and would be off topic here.http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Set_Database_Password
Actually, just found out that it doesn’t. Here’s the doc from Cpanel directly

Sorry, now that I know the answer, this definitely isn’t WordPress related.
