This process is quite simple in correcting the the error  What is happening is a failure to connect to phpMyAdmin  In order to fix the problem you simply need to provide the correct password to the system phpMyAdmin configuration file located in apps phpMyadmin config ini php 1  the root should already be set as user 2  Insert the password between     and that it   If you still have problems then this means that the user name and  or the password need to be updated or inserted into the DB  to do this use the command line tool and do an update   UPDATE mysql user SET Password PASSWORD  Johnny59 or whatever you want to use   WHERE User  root
