Putting a password to a user in PhpMyAdmin in Wamp

Question

How do you change the password for the root user in phpMyAdmin on WAMP server? because I\'m locked out of phpMyAdmin, after changing the password incorrectly.

Answer 1

Looks like phpmyadmin's username and password are stored elsewhere ( probably in a custom-defined config file ) in WAMP or there is some additional hashing or ... involved in the process.

So to change currently used default 'config'-file-based password you can browse "/phpmyadmin/user_password.php" using your browser. You'll be prompted to enter your mysql credentials and then you can use the displayed form to change the stored password for the user you logged into previously.
