go to the phpmyadmin from the tray and all is well. at this point i'm using a root with no password. i use the system for a day, set up a database and all is well. but the system is warning about the unprotected root and wants me to give it a password. i give it one. viola, i can't pull it up from the system tray anymore. the databases still connect when i enter the password in the dreamweaver fields, but how to get into phypmyadmin?
#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
where do i enter the password? how do i get access? i can log in via the mysql console, but that doesn't help.
