Published on
Do you want to set root password in phpMyAdmin? You’re in the right place. In this tutorial we will guide you step-by-step to How to set root password in phpMyAdmin on XAMPP Server.
XAMPP is one of the best open source web server to run your PHP sites locally in your computer. It installs Apache, MySQL, PHP & PERL in your computer. XAMPP is a cross-platform solution means it can be installed on Windows, Linux & Mac.
By default XAMPP doesn’t set password for phpMyAdmin. To secure your phpMyAdmin you need to set a password. You can access phpMyAdmin directly from Localhost & set password.
Step 1:
- Open localhost.
- Click phpMyAdmin.
- Click User accounts.
- Look for the row having User name: root & Host name: localhost.
- You can see that there is No for Password.
- Click Edit Privileges.
- Click Change password.
- Enter Password.
- Click Go.
- You can see the password for User name root has been set successfully.
- Now go back to localhost.
- Click phpMyAdmin.
- You can see that it is showing an error.
Step 2:
- Now go to XAMPP folder.
- Click sub folder phpMyAdmin
- Look for the file config.inc.php
- Right click on config.inc.php.
- Openwith Notepad or WordPad or Notepad++
Look for these two lines:
- $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘auth_type’] = ‘config’;
- $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘password’] = ”;
- Replace ‘config’ with ‘cookie’
- Enter your Password that you have created earlier on empty space.
- Save the file.
- Now go back to that page again & Refresh or access phpMyAdmin again.
- You can see that the error has been removed.
- Now enter the User name: root & your Password.
- After login, it will look like this.
- You can see that Password is Yes.
- Now your phpMyAdmin is secure.
