Resetting the Administrator Password¶
Scenarios¶
You can reset the administrator password of a DB instance.
If you forget the password of your database account when using TaurusDB, you can reset the password.
You cannot reset the administrator password under the following circumstances:
The database port is being changed.
The instance status is Creating, Restoring, Rebooting, Changing port, Changing instance class, Promoting to primary, or Abnormal.
Precautions¶
If you change the administrator password of a DB instance, the passwords of the read replicas associated with the DB instance are also changed accordingly.
The length of time it takes for the new password to take effect depends on the amount of service data currently being processed by the primary node.
To prevent brute force cracking and ensure system security, change your password periodically, such as every three or six months.
