Unless you have changed your password the default setting dont require you to enter a password to connect to the MYSQL server  try   mysql connect  localhost   root        if not then you can export your databases to a external file  just follow these instructions   http   dev mysql com doc refman 5 0 en innodb-backup html  if you are unable to access phpMyAdmin then try   http   www simplehelp net 2008 11 26 how-to-reset-a-lost-mysql-root-password
