Create a root password for PHPMyAdmin

Question

PHPMyAdmin is giving me a message saying that the user (root) does not have a password.

So, how can I create one?

Answer 1

Well, I believe that I've solved the password configuration 'issue' - WampServer 2.2 - Windows 7.

The three steps that I did:

1. In the MySQL console set a new password. To make that: mysqladmin -u root password 'your_password'

2. In phpMyAdmin click in users and set the same password to the user root.

3. Finally, set your new password in the config.inc.php. Don't change anything else in this file.

This worked for me. Good luck!
