Phpmyadmin Password Does Not Work

[jlhaslip 4]

The Password and authorisation method used by phpmyadmin can be changed in the configuration file.
Two things to check:
1. The value of the variable: $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] string

When using auth_type = 'config', this is the user/password-pair which phpMyAdmin will use to connect to the MySQL server. This user/password pair is not needed when HTTP or cookie authentication is used and should be empty.

2. The value of the variable: $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] string ['HTTP'|'http'|'cookie'|'config'|'signon'] Those are the selectable values available for that variable.

I am on an Xampp stack as well and the Documentation is found at LOCALHOST/phpmyadmin/Documentation.html#config which should be the same for you. Start your server first.

I have been designing my site on my desktop using XAMPP. Everything was ok until I thought I needed a pasword for my database which did not have a password. From the day I applied the password I have been unable to access my phpMyAdminI type LOCALHOST/phpmyadmin/ and all I get is:



"Who said use no password?" I wonder. I have tried to clear private data in the Firefox but I ended up thinking it was not necessary because even IE which I had never used for phpMyAdmin was saying the same thing.
Of cause I could start afress and get things back the way they used to be but I won't have learnt anything. Help me so that I'll know what makes these things tick

The config.inc file needs to be edited too. Check out this tutorial; http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
