'Access Denied For User 'Root'@'Localhost' How To Control Cookies

Error: Access denied for user rootlocalhost (using password: NO).

Ive tried reinstalling it multiple times (deleting all mysql packages, the varlibmysql file, and the my.cnf file and reinstalling everything) and it still wont let me run the script.

Ive tried using my servers root password and that doesnt work either.

Error: Access denied for user rootlocalhost (using password: YES).

Second you absolutely do not need to sudo mysqlsecureinstallation.

Third, if you just installed the server and varlibmysql was empty prior to this then there is no root password set.

Recreate this using mariadb-server and not the Oracle mysql packages then someone may be able to help.

If you have no data in the database that you care about then rm -rf varlibmysql with the server stopped and then start it and it will create a blank database with no root password set.

If you need to use the mysql community packages then you need to ask the mysql community for support.

This error shows that the user root doesnt exist, or now the user root has password which phpmyadmin dont know about.

You just have to change the phpmyadmin config.inc.php file located at XAMPPxamppfilesphpmyadminconfig.inc.php in my case my XAMPP folder in Applications.

You also might have to change the file permission for modification, which will require your admin password.

Because its a root user it should have access to everything logically so select all databases one by one from middle and transfer all the Available Privileges.

If anything happens with your localhost hostname you can easily move to 127.0.0.1 to connecto to phpmyadmin which will exactly be the same as localhost.
