I have updated my password in phpmyadmin and in:

 

server configuration

general

root www change passwords and access

 

I can now access

 

view www

my own php programs

 

I have root access and the valid root password. I can not access

 

phpmyadmin

#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

 

I am using

 

server program 8.7.1

 

How do I update the password used in accessing phpmyadmin?

Ok fixed - it wasn't too hard:

 

1. rebooted

2. searched for all files with pass in them - there were 5? that had passwords - some with the new and some with the old

3. changed them all to the new

4. started server program

5. changed the password to the old

6. tested phpadmin - it worked

7. shut down servers

8. changed the password to the new

9. tested phpmyadmin - it worked

10. tested my programs - they work too.
