Ive had mysql up and running for month now. I was using it yesterday, and today I go to login via phpmyadmin and the command line and I suddenly can’t. Its as if someone changed my password overnight or something. Im trying to login using the root user. What do I do?
Edit
This is mysql just running on my local laptop for development. The only account on it is the root account, and no caps lock is not on.
I used the link raina77ow provided and followed the instructions to reset my password and it works now.
Scrolling down to section C.5.4.1.3. Resetting the Root Password: Generic Instructions was particularly helpful.
