Why Did the New Password Not Take Effect After I Reset the Password of My RDS Instance?
Possible Causes
You reset the password after a backup was created, and then subsequently restored the instance from that backup. As a result, the instance credentials were restored to the old password contained in the backup.
Locating Method
Check whether the DB instance was restored after you reset the administrator password.
Solution
Log in to the console and reset the administrator password again. For details, see Resetting the Password for an Account.
