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

PHPMyAdmin is telling you that your MySQL service is missing a root password. You can change it by accessing the MySQL command line interface. mysqladmin -u root password newpass
