phpMyAdmin not allowing me access

[teufelhounden91]

Happy Thanksgiving all!

So my phpMyAdmin has been working fine for me up until I recently used the comand prompt for the first time to access mySQL. In the command prompt I setup a new password for mySQL, created a DB and even inserted data into the DB. I quit, then tried clicking phpMyAdmin and a huge error page came up saying:

Error

MySQL said:

#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.

what's going on? I'm connected to 'localhost' and I've refreshed, exited and restarted Apache and still no luck. Sorry if this is a newb issue, but any help would be great!

thanks again! 🙂

Is there some place I can go to view the configuration settings of phpMyAdmin, and reset everything maybe?

Are you using PHP5? If so locate the config.inc.php on your phpmyadmin then scroll through the codes and look for this one..

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'REMOVE_ME';

Remove or delete the value inside REMOVE_ME, leaving '' empty.

Gets?

Hope it helps.
