I had this same problem after I dropped the special PhpMyAdmin controluser account from MySQL.

I had to update the config.inc.php file and replace the entries for 'controluser' and controlpass' with 'user' and 'password'.

So my file ended like this:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']='123456';

I had this problem after changing the password for the root user in phpMyAdmin   I know nothing about programming but I solved it by doing the following    Go to file C  wamp apps phpmyadmin3 2 0 1 config inc php  I guess you would replace  wamp  with the name of your server if you re not using Wamp Server  Find the line  cfg  Servers    i   password      and change this to   cfg  Servers    i   password    NO   Try opening phpMyAdmin again  and hopefully the message will now read  Access denied for user  root   localhost   using password  YES  Now change the password in the above line to  yourpassword   whatever you had set it to before    Hope this helps somebody

Open the config inc php file in the WAMP phpmyadmin directory Change the line   Servers    i   password        to    cfg  Servers    i   password      your mysql root password   Clear browser cookies  Then Restart all services on WAMP    This worked for me    NB  the password to use has to be the MySQL password

I had this problem with a fresh install of wamp and using only default settings without setting any passwords   I found an incorrect default setting and I solved it by the following steps    Go to C  wamp apps phpmyadmin4 1 14  Your phpmyadmin version  may differ  open the file config inc in a text editor find the line   cfg  Servers    i   host      127 0 0 1   change it to  cfg  Servers    i   host      localhost   save the file restart all services in wamp   The problem seems to be that someone forgot to make the server and host match in the configuration files

Here s the solution to getting the 1045 Access denied for user  root   localhost   using password  NO  in phpMyAdmin   First here s what happens   The problem occurs when you change over from using phpMyAdmin with no password and mysql with no root password   You change root in mysql to having a root password   You dutifully change phpMyAdmin s config ini php file s  cfg  Servers    i   password      line to include your password and restart everything you can find  but phpMyAdmin still can t get through     The reason is that your browser still contains cookies for phpMyAdmin and those cookies reflect not needing a password to access mysql   The solution    Clear out the cookies relating to phpMyAdmin   Its browser specific  but in my Firefox  its under Tools   Page Info   Cookies   You might need to relog in with phpMyAdmin or use the signon php script  under  examples in my WAMP install

I think to troubleshoot your problem you should try the following    Check whether the MySQL service is running  Control Panel --  services  Use a MySQL client like SQLYOG to check whether you are able to connect to MYSQL Server with the username and password you are using in your code  Just try a sample php program  which fetches the data from table  Ex  http   www anyexample com programming php php mysql example  display table as html xml
