Hello,<br><br>I&#39;m new to using phpMyAdmin and am having trouble logging in. I&#39;m wondering if someone can help me.<br><br>I have successfully installed phpMyAdmin on my server (linux, has all the requisite stuff needed to run everything) but i get this error:<br>
<br>#1045 - Access denied for user &#39;root&#39;@&#39;localhost&#39; (using password: YES)<br><br>(also this one: Cannot load mcrypt extension. Please check your PHP configuration.)<br><br>i tried the documented suggestion:<br>
<br>$cfg[&#39;Servers&#39;][$i][&#39;user&#39;]          = &#39;root&#39;;<br><br>$cfg[&#39;Servers&#39;][$i][&#39;password&#39;]      = &#39;cbb74bc&#39;; // use here your password<br>$cfg[&#39;Servers&#39;][$i][&#39;auth_type&#39;]     = &#39;config&#39;<br>
<br>by putting in my own password with root as the login and got same error. also tried $cfg[&#39;Servers&#39;][$i][&#39;nopassword&#39;] and generating a script using phpMyAdmin/setup/ which also didn&#39;t allow login.<br>
<br>i created a &quot;config&quot; folder under phpMyAdmin and dropped the config.inc.php into that, and also dropped it into /setup/frames/ with the various attempts and that didn&#39;t work either<br><br>does anyone know how to fix?<br>
<br>thanks!<br><br><br><br>
