WampServer

I just finished installing wamp and after adding a password to mysql root am not able to go into phpmyadmin. I don't get an option to log in, just a page saying bad password. What must I do to get back to the login for phpmyadmin?

You'll now need to tell phpmyadmin your new password.

Go to C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin

Find a file called config.inc.php and find the following line

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

Add the new password between the quotes, for example

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'YOUR PASSWORD HERE';

Thanks, that's exactly what I needed.

So essentially I am putting my password into a clear text file... doesn't that defeat the purpose of having a password?

Well thanks for the help. I can at least continue my installations of joomla and drupal now and hopefully before final implementation I can figure out the security better!

You can configure phpmyadmin to ask for a username/password when accessing phpmyadmin. Just delete the password from the config.inc.php. Now find this line

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';

Change config to http or cookie

to setup password, follow this
