Question

I’m using phpmyadmin 5.1.36 through wampserver in my windows system. when i give http://localhost/phpmyadmin it directly gone into, showing databases what i did is i changed the password for the username root and phpmyadmin showed a message password successfully changed when i refresh the page it showed error

1045 – Access denied for user ‘root’@’localhost’ (using password: NO)

What i expect is the page which is asking for username and password. What should be done to get this.

Answer 1

Try checking your config file; there should be a line that says $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type']. This should be set to either cookie or http if you want the username and password to be entered via login form.
