Topic: PHPMyAdmin Access

[Bud]

hope you guys can help

i am trying to logon to phpmyadmin but when i use my admin/password i get the following error:

phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.


i also get an error message:

Error

MySQL said: Documentation
#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

what do i do to get back into using phpmyadmin. i have uninstalled it and reinstalled but am getting the same error
any help greatly appreciated

Did you modify your MySQL root account password? You can easily check by typing just mysql at the command line and hitting enter. You should get the mysql prompt if you get an access denied error message, you most likely have.

You should not modify your MySQL root user password, you can read here why not and how to reset it so you can easily log in again:
