    So this is probably pretty high with regards to idiocy but since I didn’t recognise my own password anymore in wp-config I decided to delete the old db user and make a new one with a new password.

    SO in my MySQL backup there is the old md5 hash of the 2.1.3. So in order for my new upgrade to communicate with MySQL do i need to double has the new password with md5 or what do I need to do?

    The database password is NOT in the database, it is in the wp-config.php file.

    So if you changed/deleted the database user, then make sure DB_USER and DB_PASSWORD are correct in wp-config.php.

    Ah ok I confused the admin password with the db password!
