Description:
Hi.  Bug where changing password in Administrator for the current user logged onto Administrator will fail a task like backup.  Error msgbox = "Backup Thread cannot connect to MySQL"

How to repeat:
1. Logon to Adminstrator 1.2.8 using root
2. Change root password to "pass1"
3. Click Apply
4. Try to perform backup of any table

Suggested fix:
I would like to see current connection re-established or variables internerally updated when their own passwords are changed.
