Your problem has nothing to do with phpMyAdmin, reset your root mySQL password then login to phpMyadmin with the credentials. On 15 July 2011 14:41, Bonny Moses <bonny2030@gmail.com> wrote:

Two ideas: 1. Does you local mysql have a password for the root account? 2. Inside the phpmyadmin folder, there should be a file called config.php, thats where phpmyadmin stores its authentication directives On Fri, Jul 15, 2011 at 10:54 AM, Bonny Moses <bonny2030@gmail.com> wrote:

The default username is root and the password blank, which means you may have defined alternative credentials. Go to xampp->phpMyAdmin Inside the directory locate config.inc.php. Scroll through to Authentication type and info you will find the following; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'your_username'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'your_password'; Those should be your phpMyAdmin credentials, note them/change them and login Ali A.
