Resetting phpMyAdmin

Question

I'm running version 3.3.9, and I'm having trouble with trying to restore my admin password, as well as reset the root password. I get the following popup when logging onto localhost/xampp/phpMyAdmin through the address bar: PHPmyadmin login

What should I do in order to reset my password of the root?

N.B. I've already tried setting the password via the config.inc folder, and nothing changed.

try with this solution https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4124447/reset-root-password-with-wrong-mysql-config and remember after changing the password to revert the change in my.ini — mvaldes, May 02 '12 at 01:46

Try this from your command line :

mysqladmin -u root -p 'oldpassword' password newpass

mysqladmin -u root -p 'oldpassword' password newpass

I think this code should work implement it through the script tags of your index.php file so the xammp database will recognise the code!
