Answer 1

Assuming that the user you are using in phpmyadmin has the necessary privileges, you can run this query to change the root password:

UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('MyNewPass') WHERE User='root';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

If you forget your password for SQL plus 10g then follow the steps :

1. START
2. Type RUN in the search box
3. Type 'cnc' in the box captioned as OPEN and a black box will appear 4.There will be some text already in the box. (C:\Users\admin>) Just beside that start typing 'sqlplus/nolog' press ENTER key
4. On the next line type 'conn sys/change_on_install as sysdba' (press ENTER) 6.(in the next line after sql-> type) 'alter user scott account unlock' .
5. Now open your slpplus and type user name as 'scott' and password as 'tiger'.

If it asks your old password then type the one you have given while installing.

Answer 5

Open phpmyadmin, go to database and corresponding table to find it out.

Answer 6

Go to this file in: WampFolder\apps\phpmyadmin[phpmyadmin version]\config.inc.php

Usually wamp is in your main hard drive folder C:\wamp\

You will see something like:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'YOUR USER NAME IS HERE';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'AND YOU PASSWORD IS HERE';

Try using the password and username that you have on that file.
