phpmyadmin error on Localhost

[death180]

I get this error when trying to access phpmyadmin on LOCALHOST.

I am using wampserver.

Well as it states you never entered a password into your phpmyadmin that would be the reasoning on why it's not working.

 

[Nathan]

Yep Raymond is right you need a password, if you haven't set a password then the default is usually 'root'.

 

[death180]

I don't ever remember entering a password before. How would I enter it?

 

[Nathan]

Yeah then try using the default password which is 'root' as I said in my previous post.

You set custom passwords in the CP of the localhost server, somewhere under security.

 

[death180]

I don't know how to get to security. I looked all over the place but didn't see anything.

 

[Nathan]

Just try logging in with the 'root' as the password. As for the control panel, just go to the localhost IP, normally 127.0.0.1.

 

[death180]

But I don't see anywhere for a password or change password or settings of any type.

 

[Nathan]

It should be before you got to that error screen, there should be a login screen.

 

[death180]

There isn't.. I go to the wampserver homepage then click phpmyadmin and it goes to the phpmyadmin.

 

[Nathan]

And it goes to that error or works?

 

[death180]

goes to the error which is at http://localhost/phpmyadmin/

 

[Nathan]

Trying clearing your cache and try again.

 

[death180]

Still getting the error.

 

[Raymond]

click on "restart services" under the icon in your desktop tray

 

[death180]

Still getting the error.

 

[Raymond]

Than it's something with your ISP and or your doing something wrong.

Try using XAMPP instead 🙂

Have you tried the Wampserver forum, this might help

If you have the default install for wamp you can open the config.inc.php and find what the user and password is.

The path should be something like: C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin3.1.3.1

Look for the line:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';

And you will see your phpmyadmin password. If it still does not work you will have to change the mysql password to match PhPMyAdmin or vice versa.
