Guys -

i have root access to the server but the guy who originally setup lampp forgot the mysql password.

is there anyway we can reset the root password for the lampp(Mysql).

Thank you!

please note that this post is about resetting the MYsql(phpmyadmin) password and not lampp or any other passwordD

anyone???

Hi,

try starting mysqld with the option "--skip-grant-tables"

You may then access mysql without any password as user "root".
Then just set a new password for root and restart mysqld.
