phpmyadmin login issue

[charlesmason]

I am new at this and I have tried to research to see if this question has been addressed already, but I was unable to find one.

I installed the WAMP on my local system. It seems to be working okay. I can login to the Mysql using the console. I can build, change and modify a database that I just through together. That works fine.

When I go to attempt to use the phpmyadmin, it asks me for a user/password. This is even before I get to using any setup scripts. I put in the same u/p that I used for SQL.

It will not take it. It keeps giving me an authoriztion error. So, I manually added the password to the config.inc.php page itself. It still will not allow me in.

There must be somthing that I am missing out on here. I have not changed the username from the "root" which I understand is standard.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
CM

Did you add the server to the config? Did you run the setup phpmyadmin script?

What are your settings in the section of the <install_directory>/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php file?

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type']     = 'http';    // Authentication method (config, http or cookie based)?
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user']          = '';      // MySQL user
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']      = '';          // MySQL password (only needed
                                                    // with 'config' auth_type)
