PHPMYADMIN: Cannot access database for root using password where using password = YES
Posted by: xsence2003 (---.nics.nxp.com)

Could someone please help me with my problem?

I have changed the password in mysql instead of in phpmyadmin.

After this i changed the ini in the phpmyadmin directory but unfortunately it won't let me login anymore in phpmyadmin.

i reinstalled wamp several times, i still get the same error message.

Could someone help me reset it so i can use phpmyadmin again in wamp?

Many thanks in advance.

Thank you a lot man, i had installed xamp yesterday but i like wamp more, but after removing it from my pc and reinstalling wamp, the message didn;t appear anymore.

I followed your guide and configured it completely, now everything works fine again.

thank you very much.
