After I updated my MySql, I was getting the same error message. It turned out that after installing a different version on MySql, inside the my.ini, the port was different. Previous MySql version had port 3306 but the new one have port 3308. Check your MySql my.ini, if it is different use the port from .ini in your connection.

2.Search for Mysql services in task manager and stop it.

This process is quite simple in correcting the the error. What is happening is a failure to connect to phpMyAdmin. In order to fix the problem you simply need to provide the correct password to the system phpMyAdmin configuration file located in apps\phpMyadmin\config.ini.php 1. the root should already be set as user 2. Insert the password between ' ' and that it.

If you still have problems then this means that the user name and /or the password need to be updated or inserted into the DB. to do this use the command line tool and do an update.

UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('Johnny59 or whatever you want to use') WHERE User='root';
