Hi,
I am really in a pickle.

I am using WordPress on WAMPserver and have quite a lot of data there.

Everything was working fine, then I tried to reset the admin password from the database.

I changed the password in MySQL command line first. It was successful, then I changed it again and I think I made a typo in the username/password. Then, changed the corresponding values in config.inc.php.

Now
– When I open MySQL cmd line, it asks for a password, I’ve tried all the possible passwords, nothing works. As soon as I enter something for the password, the cmd line shuts down.
– Cannot log into MyPHP admin, the username/password is incorrect.
Tried to keep the value for ‘AllowNoPassword’ = true. This too did not work.
– CError in wp-admin: Error connecting to Database (MySQL).

Please help!
