I am getting these type of errors
—>
MySQL said:

#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.

==========
Actually, earlier http://localhost/phpmyadmin was running fine.. but since i have installed MySQL server, and during configuring the instance i have given a simple password it had stop work and displaying the errors written above.
Also the command presented in this blog are not working at my system’s command prompt.

I m thinking to remove the root password, but i guess there may other solution as well to bypass/remove these type of errors.

SOLUTION TO ALL YOUR PROBLEMS

Search for a file “config.inc.php” you will find it in “wamp\apps\phpmyadmin3.2.0.1″ like folder

just change the password in this file on line looking like “$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = ‘password’; ”

then Save !

Done

oh yeah, if it asks you for a password and you haven’t set one yet, just press
the enter key.

I’m using wamp server 2.1. Click on your wamp icon. mouse hover on Mysql
select console then type in Al’s suggestion. It worked fine for me.
you may have to refresh your page or clear cookies before you see the change.
I know I had too.

Al, thx. That worked fine for mysql. However when I try to access mysqladmin
app now, I get a strange error.

“The additional features for working with linked tables have been deactivated.”
anyone have an idea for a fix?

Careful not to copy paste this. Use two single quotes instead of what you’d get if you copy/pasted this line.

mysqladmin -u root -p password [singlequote][singlequote]
