Thanks. I followed the link and realized I needed to set a password. So I followed the link to change the password and managed to follow the instructions for changing the MySQL root password. However, the stop.bat file I have doesn't stop the server. I had to restart the computer. Also, your last instruction "Restart the servers and check access using phpMyAdmin (left menu in apanel)" needs a few more words of explanation because once I get to phpMyAdmin, I don't see anything that tells me where to put the new password. Nevertheless, I retried the script and it worked. Thanks again.
