Error # 1045 - Cannot Log in to MySQL server -> phpmyadmin

Question

We have installed PHPMyAdmin on a windows machine running IIS 7.0.
We are able to connect to MySQL using command-line, But we are not able to connect using PHPMyAdmin.

Answer 1

In Linux I resolve this problem by going to the root command prompt type:

# mysqladmin -u root password 'Secret Phrase Here'

Then go back and login. Works every time!
