When I set the root password in PHPMyAdmin, I get this error:
#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
I can’t open the PHPMyAdmin panel. What am I doing wrong?
Edit your phpmyadmin config.inc.php file and if you have Password, insert that in front of Password in following code:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['verbose'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = '3306';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = '**your-root-username**';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '**root-password**';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true;
Answer:
Here are few steps that must be followed carefully
- First of all make sure that the WAMP server is running if it is not running, start the server.
- Enter the URL http://localhost/phpmyadmin/setup in address bar of your browser.
-
Create a folder named config inside C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin, the folder inside apps may have different name like phpmyadmin3.2.0.1
-
Return to your browser in phpmyadmin setup tab, and click New server.
-
Change the authentication type to ‘cookie’ and leave the username and password field empty but if you change the authentication type to ‘config’ enter the password for username root.
- Again click save in configuration file option.
- Now navigate to the config folder. Inside the folder there will be a file named config.inc.php. Copy the file and paste it out of the folder (if the file with same name is already there then override it) and finally delete the folder.
- Now you are done. Try to connect the mysql server again and this time you won’t get any error.
