Warriors,
Everytime I upgrade to the latest wordpress I get locked out. I know I have to reset the wp database password in godaddy but it is a pain. Is there any plugin that does this automatically so I don't have to get locked out of my blog and waste time running back to godaddy to fix the password?

    Usinga database plugin is a security risk .. I would not use such plugins..

      I'm not really understanding how you are getting that problem. Every upgrade I do works fine. If the database needs to be updated/adjusted wordpress does it automatically the first time I access the page. It shouldn't be affecting any of the database access settings like username/password or even your admin login details.

      Are you overwriting the wp-config.php file when ou do the update? That shouldn't happen as there is no default file of that name in the upgrade sets. (Its called wp-config-sample.php.)

        I have the wp automatic upgrade plugin. When I updated today to wp 2.6.5 I was locked out and my username and pasword didn't work. I worked with a web designer in the pass on multiple wp blogs and everytime I did this he needed to go reset the database password.

          That plugin is your problem and you should get rid of it .. It is a security breach on your blogs.

          Never use a plugin to handle things such as your login, db access, and etc ...
