Hello Railway Support,

I need help rotating the root password for my Railway MySQL service safely.

Context:

My MySQL public connection string was accidentally exposed in a screenshot/chat, including the root password.

Project: resilient-education

Environment: production

Service: MySQL

Important:

My application service is no longer using the root user. I already created a dedicated MySQL user for the app and updated the app DATABASE_URL to use that dedicated user.

I do not want to manually change the root password inside MySQL because I understand this could break Railway-managed variables such as MYSQL_URL, MYSQL_PUBLIC_URL and MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD, or affect Railway’s internal management of the database.

Please rotate the MySQL root password from Railway’s side so that:

1. the old exposed root password becomes invalid;

2. MYSQL_URL, MYSQL_PUBLIC_URL and MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD are updated correctly;

3. the MySQL service remains healthy;

4. no data is lost.

Please confirm once the rotation is completed or let me know the safest Railway-supported way to do this.

Thank you.
