[quote][/quote]I think that you could do it through phpmyadmin as the root user, as it should tell you what password storage options are available; but I think it'd have to be done by a privilaged user account that has acced over other accounts (I'm not sure what options would be available to a local user).

A neat trick, select 4.1 and use the same password that you have been using, and you shouldn't have to update your scripts.

On my server I have the following options for changing user passwords in PHPMyAdmin (see attachment)
