Please keep in mind that I am a newbie at this! I am trying different things, but without any success.that is why I'll probably need step-by-step instructions. However, I have been unsuccessful in starting mysql with the -skip-grant-tables option from outside mysql.exe, and when I try to do it from within mysql.exe, I just get an odd prompt ("->") and no other commands seem to work.

I've tried to access MySQL using a terminal connection: in the MySQL root folder there is a file called mysql.exe that seems to grant this when executed (there is no "mysql_safe.exe" as some solutions have suggested).There is no file called "resetroot.bat" anywhere in the wamp/sql folders, as someone suggested.so that option is out.I'd hate to see months of work go down the drain!ĮDIT: Using Windows, I've tried the following:
#PHPMYADMIN ROOT PASSWORD WAMP WINDOWS#
However, it seems I can still move around in phpMyAdmin (maybe because I'm still logged in?).Ĭould someone please tell me step-by-step how (if?) I can re-add the root users using phpMyAdmin? I see instructions posted in various places, but they seem to address users who are using terminal windows or some other program. Immediately things stopped working.and now, when I click on the "Users" tab in phpMyAdmin, it simply returns a red bar that says "No Privileges".my specific superuser is gone.

I thought that since I created my own superuser with "All Privileges," I didn't need the root users.so I deleted them. I was working in phpMyAdmin to change the password of a superuser I had set up with a login-name other than "root." While doing so, I saw three additional "root" users, and on the phpMyAdmin home page, a warning about these root users not having a password. I'm test-running a Joomla installation (locally, using WAMP) with an MySQL database supporting it.this is in preparation to moving everything online once I have it configured.
