There was no password set for user 'root' on localhost. It was showing a warning at the bottom that the root has no password..etc.

Now I am getting this error message when i changed the password. And also my portal is not working. How do it resolve it?

Error-MySql said: Cannot connect: invalid settings

I guess that's from phpMyAdmin?

Now I am getting this error message when i changed the password.

You must also set this password in the phpMyAdmin configuration file.

And also my portal is not working.

The same for your portal software.

You must also set this password in the phpMyAdmin configuration file.

Where will i find this file? Is it C:\xampp\phpmyadmin\config.inc.php ?
If yes, then its still not working (same error) after doing this:

Code: Select all

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPasswordRoot'] = true;

Changed to :

Code: Select all

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'test';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPasswordRoot'] = true;

Hey, its working..I deleted all cookies and temp files and clicked refresh and it worked.

Thanks!!

I had similar problems which persisted after re-installation of XAMPP.

clearing the cookings did the job for me at the end!
