I set a password for mysql directly through PHPMyAdmin. This caused me to no longer be able to access PHPMyAdmin, saying:
#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
I then searched on google and found that to allows access, I need to change the config.inc.php file. However, I do not have permission to do so. I then searched how to gain permission. To do this, the web says to use console commands to first reach the root path. For example, this path:
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/xampp
I get the error that this path does not exist.
It seems this path simply does not exist on my mac. I can follow to Applications/XAMPP.app, but it ends there. My question is, how can I change my password again or change config.inc.php so I can access PHPMyadmin.
I have been searching for four hours already for solutions, and am totally stuck.
Thanks for your help,
