At the MySQL console, I have to type a password. What is it for? I did not set a password! How come it is asking me for one?

the default root account does not have a password set, so when the console askes for the password, just press the enter button.

I changed to "test":

2. $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass']
4. $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']

I saved config.inc.php, then restarted MySQL, then typed "test" (without quotes) on the MySQL console, but the default password had not changed.

I changed to "test" too:

1, $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser']
3. $cfg['Servers'][$i]['user']

I saved config.inc.php, then restarted MySQL, then typed "test" (without quotes) on the MySQL console, but the default password had not changed.

What am I supposed to do?

what did you change to test?

the control user is not where you enter your mysql user id and password, open up phpmyadmin config file, and change them back to:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] ='';

Now find these two lines:

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

Change those two lines to what your mysql username and password are.

you do not have to restart apache after editing the phpmyadmin config file. phpmyadmin is a script, not a server like apache and mysql. after you change something in the phpmyadmin config file, you just need to click on the refresh button in your webbrowser to refresh the page.
