How to change the mysql password on the Xampp server (with pictures)

Today, I found out while working on PHP that if we use the mysql database that comes with the Xampp server, we must first change the mysql password. As we all know, the initial password of mysql is empty, but if the password is empty when connecting to the database, an error will be reported. I have found many solutions to similar problems on the Internet, all of which are to open the mysql command console. The solution is as follows

However, according to what is said online, there is still a problem after following the steps, and the mysql password is still not changed. Next, I will introduce the steps to successfully modify it:

1. Click MySQL's admin to enter the phpMyAdmin page;

2. Click Account to enter the account management page;

3. Select the root localhost account and click Modify Permissions;

4. Enter the page shown in the figure below and click Change Password;

5. After designing your own password, click Execute. At this time, the password has been changed successfully, but the problem is that this page is no longer the phpMyAdmin page, but access is denied because we have changed the mysql access password;

6. Open the Xampp\phpMyAdmin\config_inc.php file and change the config in the picture below to cookie. At this time, the entire step of changing the MySQL password is completed. Then restart Xampp and click Refresh phpMyAdmin page to start the operation.
