Most CPanels work independantly of the MySQL password; in fact, they generally utilize your user password on the maching (such as for ftp or ssh access); mysql is a seperate service with its own user system (as it has a very strict permission system).

And as NT said best, Windows does not care about cAsE SensATIvitY, which can be horrid with usernames and passwords (the option to be CaSe SENsITIve is a good security option as well as you can change a simple string into a useful/secure password due to how you EnTEr it).

Well passwords are case sensitive on Windows, just not the file system (though it can be but I've never seen anyone set it up or use it)

Cpanel is a pita but unless you've got the cash to buy a VPS or a real server not much choice.

phpAdmin gives me fits as well via CP

Well, I was referancing them as cpanels, not specifically the cpanel control panel... I was referancing:
CPanel
Webmin
Plesk
etc...

Myself, I use Webmin as my cpanel, because I'm just that hardcore lol... besides, I like customization

No choice for me

Have to take what they give me as I don't have the cash to do my own server. But as I posted in another thread, was cool they gave me some free stuff by knowing my site already.

I'm on a VPS, so I can customize just about anything; in fact, I just upgraded Webmin/Usermin/Virtualmin/PHP/MySQL on my CentOS4.4 VPS hehe

I thought you said you was broke LOL

The VPS is free, my compensation for working 24/7 at my old place of employment...

That's cool.

yes, fueling my addictions is cool
