How to find out the username and password for mysql database

Question

I\'ve forgotten what I set as username and password for mysql database. How could I be able to find it out? I am using wamp server. I am a newbie in mysql

Answer 1

Assuming that the user you are using in phpmyadmin has the necessary privileges, you can run this query to change the root password:

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