Question

I am unable to connect to my MySQL in xampp I have this error:

MySQL said: Documentation

1045 - Access denied for user \'root\'@\'localhost\'

Answer 1

found a solution, in my config file I just changed

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';

to

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'HTTP';

Answer 2

Follow these steps- 1.go to config.inc.php file and find - $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type']

2.change the value of $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] to 'cookie' or 'http'.

3.find $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] and change it's value to true.

Now whenever you want to login, enter root as your username,skip the password and go ahead pressing the submit button..

Note- if you choose authentication type as cookie then whenever you will close the browser and reopen it ,again you have to login.

Answer 3

You need to modify the config-db.php and set your password to the password you gave to the user root, or else if he has no password leave as this ''.
