I have set my config file for a password with Mysql and phpMyadmin but when i try to load the phpMyAdmin page i get this error.
#################
Error
MySQL said:
#1045 - Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)
###################
I have set a password and want it to ask me for one but dont know how to go about it. If i dont set any password I can enter phpMyadmin no problem but soon as I change the configuration to have a password it wont let me in and wont ask for a password to authorize me. Is there a step im missing or somewhere I can read to learn how to get this working with the password.

I would imagine there is a config file somewhere where you need to enter the username and the password.

Odds are, it's blank so when you add a password, it dies.

Look for something like config.php, dbconnect.php or some such.

Thanks I found it it seemd that when i set control user to root with no password and the regular user with username and password it works and i stopped getting that security worning about intrution. It also gave me all fields to build and manage the databases from
