    Hi all - I'm new to php, I changed the root password to the word "password" in myphpadmin - I changed the php code to say "password" and the website is working fine. (I'm using WAMP)

    Now when I try to get into myphpadmin since changing the password, I get this message? Thanks

    Error

    MySQL said: Documentation
    #1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
    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 think you also need to manually edit apps\phpmyadmin \ config.inc.php ? That of course is, if your changing the root password through phpmyadmin only ? which I think is only like a master database connection rather then access to phpmyadmin
