I just installed XAMPP and after changing the MySQL password (and choosing to set 'random' password for pma and dump them both to text files) I am unable to connect to the database.
phpmyadmin just says "No Privileges" and there doesn't appear to be anyway to say, update the password or get more specific error information.
To be sure it wasn't a problem with an unclear uninstall of XAMPP (long story), I tried installing it in A VM (VMWare from University License) of Windows 7 Professional (From MSDNAA) which only has a few programs installed (I can't honestly remember why I needed to run a Windows 7 VM within Windows 7... ) and has never had XAMPP Installed on it before.
I even tried installing it into a Ubuntu VM and setting the passwords, and it still says "No Privileges".
I can get either set up to work by not changing the security settings, but that's simply not helpful.
Am I doing something wrong?
I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
