I have a local host running on XAMPP on a Mac. At some point I set a password in phpMyAdmin which I've ow forgotten. Can anyone help me get back into phpMyAdmin? I've followed a ton of tutorials but they all either don't work or refer to some file that doesn't seem to be on my computer. Is there an easy way?
When I try to open:
http://localhost
I get:
The Server http://localhost:80 requires a username and password
You want to edit this file:
"\xampp\phpMyAdmin\config.inc.php"
change this line:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'WhateverPassword';
to whatever your password is.
If you don't remember your password, then run this command in the Shell:
mysqladmin.exe -u root password WhateverPassword
where 'WhateverPassword' is your new password.
There is a batch file called resetroot.bat located in the xammp folders 'C:\xampp\mysql' run this and it will delete the phpmyadmin passwords. Then all you need to do is start the MySQL service in xamp and click the admin button.
The question may be getting old, but I've struggled with the same issue just now.
After deleting passwords with resetroot.bat, as instructed by Nedshed, you can choose another password by going to http://localhost/security/index.php
The best thing is to go to your phpmyadmin folder and open config.inc.php and change allownopassword=false to $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true;
The only solution worked for me:

You need to stop Mysql and change user password using Commands.
Hi this worked for me "/opt/lampp/xampp security" in Centos
[root#XXXXX ~]# /opt/lampp/xampp security
XAMPP: Quick security check...
XAMPP: Your XAMPP pages are secured by a password.
XAMPP: Do you want to change the password anyway? [no] yes
XAMPP: Password:
XAMPP: Password (again):
XAMPP: Password protection active. Please use 'xampp' as user name!
XAMPP: MySQL is not accessable via network. Good.
XAMPP: MySQL has a root passwort set. Fine! :)
XAMPP: The FTP password for user 'daemon' is still set to 'xampp'.
XAMPP: Do you want to change the password? [yes]
XAMPP: Password:
XAMPP: Password (again):
XAMPP: Reload ProFTPD...ok.
XAMPP: Done.
[root#XXXXX ~]#
This is what helped me:
Wherever you have installed XAMPP open PhpMyAdmin Folder,( In my
case C:\xampp\phpMyAdmin).
There you find a file named config.php, open it with notepad or any
editor.
You find user and password for phpMyAdmin like this.
/* Authentication type and info */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
**$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true;
$cfg['Lang'] = '';
Unless you have changed your password the default setting dont require you to enter a password to connect to the MYSQL server, try:
mysql_connect('localhost','root','');
if not then you can export your databases to a external file, just follow these instructions.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/innodb-backup.html
if you are unable to access phpMyAdmin then try,
http://www.simplehelp.net/2008/11/26/how-to-reset-a-lost-mysql-root-password/
Reinstalling the software fixes the issue, just make sure not to delete the htdocs folder in the process.

I've run into a issue in my MAMP instillation, I didn't change anything it just happened. I start MAMP perfectly fine and it gives the green light that the MySQL server is up and I can connect to it from the terminal using the mysql command. However when I try and open phpMyAdmin I get this error:
Error
MySQL said: Documentation
Cannot connect: invalid settings.
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 didn't change the default username and password and have subsequently tried to reset them to root and root which is what phpMyAdmin thinks they are. However I still get this error. The host is still set to localhost. I've tried uninstalling and reinstall MAMP to no avail.
Change these two lines in config.inc.php file.
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '127.0.0.1';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = '8889';
This should solve the problem.
Seems like a lot of people where having this error recently.
MAMP had changed the PHP toggle in the preferences pane to 7.0.8, just had to switch it back to 5.6.10.
You need to reset the mysql password for mamp.
I found that tech-otaku explains it well.---https://www.tech-otaku.com/local-server/resetting-mamp-mysql-root-user-password/
What he basically says in the link: Stop the servers. Then using the terminal:use the skip-grant-tables command, then --skip-networking command, and flush privileges command. He goes into more detail for the steps on his website.
P.S- You can also stop the mysqld server from the activity monitor. Applications/utilities/activitymoniter (search:mysql)
Find default mysql host, root and password using mamp on mac
I got this error too. I followed the path below to find out the default root, host and password information.
/Applications/MAMP/bin/mamp/index.php

my $user = 'root';
my $password = 'root';*
$db = new mysqli("localhost", "root", "root", "MyDatabaseName");
HI Any one can help me that how i can reset my phpmyadmin root password.
when i am going to open localhost/phpmyadmin i got this error..
"
Your configuration file contains settings (root with no password) that correspond to the default MySQL privileged account. Your MySQL server is running with this default, is open to intrusion, and you really should fix this security hole by setting a password for user 'root'. "
and when i click on user to change my password i face this error
Error : Token mismatch
I also try this method:
After started XAMPP server, i go to the browser and type the URL localhost/security/ (incase you've modified XAMPP server port, you need to include that port number also in previous URL). The security page will be shown where you can change the root password for MySQL. This will update the phpMyAdmin config also.
i have follow this method but i cannot solve my problem plz help me out this problem
Go to \xampp\phpMyAdmin\config.inc.php
then
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'WhateverPassword';//near line 21
or Run this command
mysqladmin.exe -u root password 'WhateverPassword'

I have tried to uninstall( Plus Deleted all the related files) WAMP and reinstall.It didn't help either.
While reinstalling WAMP server it is not asking for any username password stuff I don't know why.
Any help is highly appreciated.
I first changed the root password running mysql at a prompt with
mysql -u root -p
Update password:
UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('MyNewPass') WHERE User='root';
Edited line in the file config.inc.php with the new root password:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'MyNewPass'
Stop and re-start mysql service (in Windows: mysql_stop.bat/mysql_start.bat)
and got phpMyAdmin to work!
EDIT 2017: for MySQL≥5.7 use authentication_string in place of Password (see this answer):
`UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string=PASSWORD('MyNewPass') WHERE User='root';
`
The problem was I have 2 instances of Mysql installed and I didn't know the password for both instances.Just check if port 80 is used by any of the programs.
This is what I did
1.Quit Skype because it was using port 80.(Please check if port 80 is used by any other program).
2.Search for Mysql services in task manager and stop it.
3.Now delete all the related mysql files.Make sure you delete all the files.
4.Reinstall
Well, there are many solutions already given above. If there are none of them works, maybe you should just try to reset your password again to 'root' as described here, and then reopen http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/ in other browser. At least this solution works for me.
This worked for me.
In your config file
$cfg['Servers']['$i']['password'] = 'yourpassword';
In your mysql shell, login as root
mysql -u root
change your password or update if you've forgotten the old one
UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('yourpassword') WHERE User='root';
stop and restart your mysql server from the xampp control panel. phpmyadmin can login to see your databases
mysql.exe->Run as administrator or go to following path C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.5.24\bin and than right click on mysql.exe go to properties and than select tab as Compatibility and see the bottom of dialog box in privilege level and just check the Run this program as an administrator and then click apply ok.finished now you open success phpMyadmin. bye
mysql -u root -p
UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('mypass') WHERE User='root';
Flush the privileges: FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Exit by typing: Exit
Edited line in the file config.inc.php with the new root password: $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'mypass'
be succss
Go to 'config.inc.php'. Write your password over here - $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] =''
This process is quite simple in correcting the the error. What is happening is a failure to connect to phpMyAdmin. In order to fix the problem you simply need to provide the correct password to the system phpMyAdmin configuration file located in apps\phpMyadmin\config.ini.php
1. the root should already be set as user
2. Insert the password between ' ' and that it.
If you still have problems then this means that the user name and /or the password need to be updated or inserted into the DB. to do this use the command line tool and do an update.
UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('Johnny59 or whatever you want to use') WHERE User='root';
Go to config.inc.php, find $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] and remove any password provided, i.e change $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'password'; with $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';
Now you can launch phpMyAdmin
Selecting Users menu from phpMyAdmin, select the root user and click Edit previlidges.
Now scroll down to Change Password area, switch between No Password and Password to provide your new password.
that's it.
I had the same error today. I had installed Djangostack and when I checked my task manager there were two instances of mysqld running. I checked one was for wamp server and the other was for django stack. I ended the one for django stack, restarted all services in wamp server and I was able to access phpmyadmin
after installation i started wamp and i was asked for user and pass which were already set on default (user:admin pass: dots), and that was wrong with a message from your topic. Than, i just entered:
Username: root
Password: (leave it empty)
and it worked for me!!
Go to C:\xampp\phpMyAdmin
Edit the config.inc.php file
Replace $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config'; by
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie';
For now on the PHPMyAdmin will ask you for your password, no more error.
Try the following code:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';
if you see Password column field as 'No' for the 'root' user in Users Overview page of phpMyAdmin.
with MariaDb, above solutions doesn't works.
Use (exemple below with ubuntu 16.04 and mariadb-server Distrib 10.0.28):
sudo mysql_secure_installation
…
Change the root password? [Y/n]
New password:
I have encountered similar mistakes, and later found that my password is wrong.
For UNIX, try this. It worked for me:
connect MySQL use Navicat Premium with inital root/"password"
UPDATE mysql.user
SET authentication_string = PASSWORD('MyNewPass'), password_expired = 'N'
WHERE User = 'root' AND Host = 'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
restart MySQL
First you have to go config.inc.php file then change the following instruction
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] ='';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] ='';
or
If you arrived here because you can't log into your phpMyAdmin, then try the root password from your Mysql instead of the password you put during phpMyAdmin installation.
Just now I have this situation and I have tried this way which is very easy.
First stop your mysql service using this command:
service mysql stop
and then just again start your mysql service using this command
service mysql start
I hope it may help others... :)
After I updated my MySql, I was getting the same error message.
It turned out that after installing a different version on MySql, inside the my.ini, the port was different. Previous MySql version had port 3306 but the new one have port 3308.
Check your MySql my.ini, if it is different use the port from .ini in your connection.
php artisan serve
this command get the env contents for the first time and if you update .env file need to restart it.
in my case my username and dbname is valid and php artisan migrate worked
but need to cntrl+c , to cancel php artisan serve , and run it again
php artisan serve
Check the name of Environment Variable
Case with me:
I was using sqlalchemy in a python-flask project and got this issue.
IDE used: PyCharm
In my config.py file I had setup SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI as:
SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = os.getenv("DATABASE_URI")
Mistake I did (it was a silly mistake 😅)
While setting evironment_variables in PyCharm, I did:
SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI=<my_db_uri>
Solution
I changed the above to:
DATABASE_URI=<my_db_uri>
Namaste 🙏
In the my.ini file in C:\xampp\mysql\bin, add the following line after the [mysqld] command under #Mysql Server:
skip-grant-tables
This should remove the error 1045.
if multiple myslq running on same port no
enter image description here
Right click on wamp and test port 3306
if its wampmysqld64 its correct else change port no and restart server
I installed EasyPhp (version 5.3.9) on my windows 7 laptop and try to use the included phpMyAdmin module (selected from the easyPhp admin home page), but I am unable to log in - I get the following error:
#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: NO)
I did not change any file at all - so it should just use user=root and no password, I assume.
I checked other threads in SO but could not find any applicable solution.
I also tried uninstalling easyPhp completely and reinstalling it, but same problem, even when clearing all browser cache as suggested in one of the threads.
What to do next? How can I go use the MySQL module in EasyPhp when I can't even go to the admin tool?
By default phpMyAdmin won't let you login without a password.
You will need to open config.inc.php in the phpMyAdmin directory, and make sure it is set as follows;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true;
Note that 'AllowNoPassword' needs to be set to true.
Try:
Navigate to
C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-Devserver-16.1\eds-binaries\dbserver\mysql5711x86x160717165359\bin
and run
mysql.exe
Type in:
mysql_upgrade -u root -p
Apparently, this causes an upgrade which fixes some file problems.
I installed xampp,but when I tried to run it I got an error as thus:
Error
MySQL said: Documentation
1045 - Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: NO)
Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.
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 tried to search on internet for a solution, but I still can't fix my problem. I have already checked whether I used a password or not in config.inc.php file but i have not used any password.Also, when i try to access with a password, I still can't solve this problem.
I hope anyone can help me. .thank you
I had this problem after changing the password for the root user in phpMyAdmin. I know nothing about programming but I solved it by doing the following:
Go to file C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin3.2.0.1\config.inc.php (I guess you would replace "wamp" with the name of your server if you're not using Wamp Server)
Find the line $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']='' and change this to
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']='NO'
Try opening phpMyAdmin again, and hopefully the message will now read "Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
Now change the password in the above line to 'yourpassword' (whatever you had set it to before)
Try this:
Open config.inc.php file in the phpmyadmin directory
Find line 21: $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';
Change it to: $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'your_password';
Restart XAMPP
Reference
Go to the file C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin3.2.0.1\config.inc.php
Find the line $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']='' and change it to
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']='root'
where root is the name of the password you had set in this instance
Hope this helps somebody.
Step one: Go to...
C:\xampp\phpMyAdmin
Step Two: Open the config.inc.php file
Step Three: Locate the following information and change the password.
/* Authentication type and info */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'ENTER_YOUR_USER_NAME_HERE';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'ENTER_YOUR_PASS_HERE';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true;
$cfg['Lang'] = '';
Here's the solution to getting the 1045 Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: NO) in phpMyAdmin.
First here's what happens:
The problem occurs when you change over from using phpMyAdmin with no password and mysql with no root password. You change root in mysql to having a root password. You dutifully change phpMyAdmin's config.ini.php file's $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']='' line to include your password and restart everything you can find, but phpMyAdmin still can't get through.
The reason is that your browser still contains cookies for phpMyAdmin and those cookies reflect not needing a password to access mysql.
The solution:
Clear out the cookies relating to phpMyAdmin. Its browser specific, but in my Firefox, its under Tools > Page Info > Cookies.
You might need to relog in with phpMyAdmin or use the signon.php script (under /examples in my WAMP install).
Try this:
1. xampp/htdocs/xampp/cds.php
change line 4 to: mysql_connect("localhost","root","enter password here");
change line 64 to: if(!mysql_connect("localhost","root","enter password here"))
From here
reset your mysql password on xampp security page.
restart your mysql service and then access the phpmyadmin page using your password. i tried it. this is working fine for me.
I'm using Linux Mint 18.2 of this writing. I had a similar issue; when trying to load myphpadmin, it said: "1045 - Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: NO)"
I found the file in the /opt/lampp/phpmyadmin directory. I opened the config.inc.php file with my text editor and typed in the correct password. Saved it, and launched it successfully. Profit!
I was having problems with modifying folders and files, I had to change permission to access all my files in /opt/lampp/ directory. I hope this helps someone in the future.
I'm afraid there's a conflict with the port number(80). Make sure you don't run some software like Skype that use the same port 80
I think to troubleshoot your problem you should try the following:
Check whether the MySQL service is running (Control Panel --> services)
Use a MySQL client like SQLYOG to check whether you are able to connect to MYSQL Server with the username and password you are using in your code.
Just try a sample php program, which fetches the data from table
Ex. http://www.anyexample.com/programming/php/php_mysql_example__display_table_as_html.xml
1045 - Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: NO)
solution:
Step 1: Open Location of you wamp/xampp
Step 2: Go to phpmyadmin
Step 3: Open config.inc.php
Step 4: Change the password to the password set for the MySql server and not anything else in this: $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = ''
Step 5: Restart all services /restart wamp/xampp.
I had this problem with a fresh install of wamp and using only default settings without setting any passwords. I found an incorrect default setting and I solved it by the following steps:
Go to C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin4.1.14 (Your phpmyadmin version# may differ)
open the file config.inc in a text editor
find the line: $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '127.0.0.1';
change it to $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
save the file
restart all services in wamp
The problem seems to be that someone forgot to make the server and host match in the configuration files.
Try resetting your password since it seems it has changed you can reset your password by going to
C:\xampp\mysql
and clicking on the resetroot.bat file
Then change in the php config file the password back to blank and you should have access again
Open the config.inc.php file in the WAMP phpmyadmin directory
Change the line ['Servers'][$i]['password'] = ''
to
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'your_mysql_root_password';
Clear browser cookies
Then Restart all services on WAMP
This worked for me.
NB: the password to use has to be the MySQL password.....
My.ini from the file #password and #bind-address="127.0.0.1" are commented change the password to root and uncomment bind-address="127.0.0.1" and from the file cds.php change the
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", ""); to
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "root");
Stop the Mysql services and try login again it got logged in.
I had this same problem after I dropped the special PhpMyAdmin controluser account from MySQL.
I had to update the config.inc.php file and replace the entries for 'controluser' and controlpass' with 'user' and 'password'.
So my file ended like this:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']='123456';
If you are using XAMPP rather than WAMP, the path you go to is:
C:\xampp\phpMyAdmin\config.inc.php
On OSX
I had same difficult, but a figure out a solucition
open terminal
put 'cd /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles'
put 'sudo ./xampp security'
then put your root password and answer the questions
Check your MySQL Port number 3306.
Is there any other MySQL Install in your system on same port ?
If any installation found the change the port number to any number between 3301-3309 (except 3306)
user name : root
password : ' ' (Empty)
try to go to Windows services and stop the MySQL service
go to your wamp server and click on "restart all services".
Refrsch your browser
