phpMyAdmin problem!

This is actually off-topic, but I was curious if anyone in these forums knows how I can go about changing my phpMyAdmin password. The admin software was supplied to me by my providor and I am wondering if I have to ask them to do it for me or if I can do it manually myself.

Regards

Can you get to a file called config.inc.php in your PHPMyAdmin folder?

Hey Grim sorry about the late reply but I was kind of busy. Anyway, yes I can access that file from the server. What should I do with it in order to change my pass?

Regards

Not sure what you mean with "phpMyAdmin" password, as ( as far as i know ) it itself doesn't use password. Are you referring to the MySQL password that is in use in phpMyAdmin? If so:

Code: Select all

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']      = 'somepasslikely';          // MySQL password (only needed with 'config' auth_type)
...to be found around lines 80-90 or so.

im assuming your talking about the sql password, cause the only password that you ever have to enter into phpmyadmin is your mysql password
and that can be changed in phpmyadmin but its not worth the hassel
