I'm playing with a webserver on my own computer right now, i've somehow changed the password to phpMyAdmin, how can I reset this via the config files? i'm lost
The phpmyadmin password is the MySQL user and password, at least it always was.
where on the config file can i see what the current passwor is?
As far as I can see from my own installation, you can't, the user and password for the PMA user is stored in the config.inc.php file but the root password for your MySQL installation isn't stored in phpmyadmin.
If you have CLI access, you can use mysqladmin to reset the root password
mysqladmin -u root password NEWPASSWORD
(If you are running XAMPP, there is no root password)
I just downloaded WAMPSERVER how do I get CLI access?
Open the command prompt and change to the mysql bin directory
Run mysqladmin from there.
