I'm running version 3.3.9, and I'm having trouble with trying to restore my admin password, as well as reset the root password. I get the following popup when logging onto localhost/xampp/phpMyAdmin through the address bar: PHPmyadmin login

What should I do in order to reset my password of the root?

N.B. I've already tried setting the password via the config.inc folder, and nothing changed.

(Although the question is off-topic, for SO...)

Try this from your command line :

mysqladmin -u root -p 'oldpassword' password newpass

mysqladmin -u root -p 'oldpassword' password newpass

I think this code should work implement it through the script tags of your index.php file so the xammp database will recognise the code!
