Resetting MySQL Root Password with XAMPP on Localhost
php
Solution
You want to edit this file: `"\xampp\phpMyAdmin\config.inc.php"`
change this line:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'WhateverPassword';
to whatever your password is. If you don't remember your password, then run this command within the Shell:
mysqladmin.exe -u root password WhateverPassword
where WhateverPassword is your new password.
Problem
So for the past hour I've been trying to figure out how to reset my 'root' password for MySQL as I cannot log into PHPMyAdmin. I've tried changing the password in the config.inc.php file and searching through other methods. I cannot find a successful way. A few months ago I changed it as a test password but now I forget what it was. If anyone can help, that would be great. (I'm running on a Windows computer).
