Re: [cobalt-users] phpMyAdmin-2.2.6

Ray,

i thought php-myadmin has a .conf file where u enter the user / password for
your mysql db.
try looking for that in the directory where u installed phpmyadmin.  edit
that with your current mysql password.

you can change your mysql password by doing ::

[root /root]# mysql -u root -p
Enter password:cobalt-mysql

Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 5718 to server version: 3.23.36

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer

mysql> use mysql;
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

Database changed
mysql> UPDATE user SET Password = password('mynewpassword') WHERE User =
'root';
press return.
mysql > quit;

then

[root /root]# mysqladmin flush-privileges -u root -p
<Enter Old Password>

You have to flush the privileges in order for the new password to take
effect.

does this help ?
