Easiest way to change your mySQL root password

December 1, 2014   /   by Marco  / Categories :  Technology

By default once you install mySQL using WAMP, the default password is blank. If you need to change this default password to your own the easiest way to do this is to login to localhost/phpmyadmin – in WAMP simply click on the WAMP icon and select phpmyadmin from the list.

Login using the username root and a blank password. Once logged in then click on Change Password and enter the new password. Yes it was that simple. There were other instructions that said to use SQL statements but that seemed too troublesome. Hopefully this has helped you.
