Please forgive any ignorance; I did several searches both in the PHP and MySql forums, but didn't really find an answer to my question. Besides that, I just started horseing around with PHP and MySql anyway.
I recently downloaded and installed PHPDev423, which worked nicely almost straight away; I like using PHPMyAdmin for the time being while experimenting, and learning.
While no password was set for the root user, I didn't manage to connect to MySql from a command window, so I set a password for it through PHPMyAdmin.
This resulted in me getting locked out from PHPMyAdmin since no user called "root" with an empty password could be found anymore. Luckily, this time I could connect to MySql directly to clear the password again.
My question is: how can I modify the PHPMyAdmin settings to not only function with the root user with a password set, but preferably ask me for that password upon entering as well?
If I missed any of the posts that make blatantly clear how to do this, could anyone give me a gentle nudge in the proper direction? I feel kinda lost ... *sob*
