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

If you tried mysqladmin -u root password 'your_password' and MySQL says denied access, you need to change the my.ini so that the value password is blank. then try mysqladmin -u root password 'your_password' again. It should change your password and open my.ini again and change the value password to the previous one.
