Change MySQL root password in phpMyAdmin

Quyen Le

I've setup wamp server on window. Then, I use MySQL root password by cmd. As a result, when I access phpMyAdmin site, Access denied appeared (Default user for phpMyAdmin is root and password is blank/empty). So, how could I change config variables in phpMyAdmin with new password of root.

I've searched for solution on Internet, someone advise me add some line to config.inc.php as:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'Changed';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPasswordRoot'] = false;

But, It seem not work. Thanks.

Explain what video describe to resolve problem

After Changing Password of root (Mysql Account). Accessing to phpmyadmin page will be denied because phpMyAdmin use root/''(blank) as default username/password. To resolve this problem, you need to reconfig phpmyadmin. Edit file config.inc.php in folder %wamp%\apps\phpmyadmin4.1.14 (Not in %wamp%)

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['verbose'] = 'mysql wampserver';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'changed';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '127.0.0.1';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] = false;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = false;

If you have more than 1 DB server, add "i++" to file and continue add new config as above
