Regaining access to lost MySQL password for PHPMyAdmin on WAMP

Question

I changed the password for my \'root\'@\'localhost\' account in PHPMyAdmin and like (this person asking here) and locked myself out of PHPMyAdmin on my brow

Answer 1

Previous answers didn't work for me, since MySQL Console keep me out after pressing intro. Try this:

Create a file C:\wamp64\mysql-init.txt with this content:

UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('1234') WHERE User='root';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

This will reset password to 1234 for user root. Then, run the next command on Windows Command Line:

C:\wamp64\bin\mysql\mysql5.7.21\bin\mysqld.exe wampmysqld --init-file=C:\\wamp64\\mysql-init.txt

Change paths depending on where is installed WAMP on your file system.

Finally, restart WAMP services.
