Error message for phpmyadmin

[DragonHighLord]

When I start up phpmyadmin I get the following message at the bottom:

Your configuration file contains settings (root with no password) that correspond to the default MySQL privileged account. Your MySQL server is running with this default, is open to intrusion, and you really should fix this security hole.

I just installed everything, and am new to this, I'm sure I have to change something somewhere, but I don't know what or where. When I ran mysql for the first tiem it created a my.ini file with the user anme/pwd I assigned to it. So how do I change phpmyadmin to match this password or fix this security hole?

Thanks

There should be another line after this error message: there is on the version of phpmyadmin, something:

UNLESS you are running your database on IP 127.0.0.1 (localhost), in which case this isn't a security hole.

The UNLESS part applies in your case. Don't fret.

When you make your database availabel on the internet, THEN you should worry if you see that message.
