can't access phpmyadmin

Hi all

For security reasons this morning I changed my passwords for admin/mail/cpanel. Whilst in cpanel I clicked to go to phpmyadmin and got this message: " Welcome to phpMyAdmin. Wrong username/password. Access denied."

I can't see any other way to access phpmyadmin, and I've always done it via cpanel. There's no option to re-enter username and/or password on this error page.

Can anyone tell me if there's something else I should change somewhere, or if there's another way to access phpmyadmin?

Appreciate any help

Chris

The phpmyadmin password is the root mysql password. There are guides online for resetting this password if you aren't sure what it is.

 

Oh and the other way to access phpmyadmin is normally http://website.com/phpmyadmin

Hi

Tried accessing it that way, it didn't work :(

Not sure what you mean by "root mysql" password? (still learning!) - Did look online and all I can find is ways to change your password via phpmyadmin, which isn't a lot of help! lol

If you have top level (root) shell access to your server, this guide could help:

You basically need to know or reset your main database password, this defines what password is needed to login to phpmyadmin.

 

Edit: This might help too http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/phpmyadmin-login-rejection-as-root-232339/

 

Obtaining your password for your database will be the first thing I think. - either the top one (mysql's root) or if you are on a shared system, your oscommerce database username and password.

Well thanks again for the response - maybe it was just a delayed reaction, but I can now access phpmyadmin from cpanel as I've always done.

That would make sense. I have seen things like ISPconfig take a while to make system changes. It would seem the user in the following post had the same experience:

Glad you're sorted!
