Hi there, I have looked around, and I'm trying to do it, basically I found a commented out password in the my-small file, but uncommenting and changing that doesn't work.

What is the default mysql password, and how can i change it to my own?

Thanks

Rob

The default MySQL password is root and u can chnage it by editing the mysql_password file in /home/admin/www/

After changing the password in home/admin/www, stoping and started the server again it kept working with the original password (root).

Any idea how to fix this or is there any other way to change the password?

That is not suppose to happen. Please recheck to make sure. Nothing writes to that file so it is suppose to stay whatever it is changed to. Unless someone changed it back or messed with the file.

No one has access to the server...

When setting a new password in the file only PhpMyAdmin changes it's password so I get an error message.

If I try to access the database using something else like Navicat using root/root it works altough the password file says something else (not Root).

No, if you want to chnage the system root password, you have to do that through phpMyAdmin's Administration Interface. It is there that you change user settings, add users, and so on.

This is how:

In phpMyAdmin, open an SQL window and type:



Then click "Go". The next thing you know, the phpMyAdmin will not work since the root password has changed (then you need to change the password in the file previously mentioned - if you still want to use phpMyAdmin)
