http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ passwd

Hi,

I lost my password to phpmyadmin, so I tried the steps suggested at mysql support for resetting a password. Doing this caused more problems. Stopping the mysql server created Error 1059 (?), so I deleted my install of wordpress and reinstalled the BitNami wordpress. When I attempted to access phpmyadmin, I was unable to log in. I tried root,administrator, old passwords, etc. In addition, conflicts occurred with my BitNami WAMP install. Since I didn’t specify the correct ip. So, I uninstalled BitNami WAMP and BitNami wordpress.

Now I have reinstalled BitNami Wordpress, set the url to localhost during install, but I’m showing the port numbers for the BitNami WAMP install (localhost:100).

QUESTION:

1. How do I get rid of the port setting for the WAMP install?
2. What is the correct user name and password for phpmyadmin for a fresh install?
3. Documentation on mysql page has left me confused about the correct password. I read on the forums that the user name is administrator and the password is left blank according to the specifications set by mysql. What is the correct link for mysql for this information?
4. Is there a possibility that these credentials could be shown when you install a new wordpress stack?

I’ve really enjoyed using the BitNami software. My confusion comes from my novice status in installing all the separate entities (Apache, php, and mysql.)

Thanks,
Bill

Problem solved for phpmyadmin login: Username is ‘administrator’; Password is the same as the’Bitnami WordPress Stack’ admin login.

Hi, I’m glad that you find the username/password for phpmyadmin. I will try to reply your other questions:

1. How do I get rid of the port setting for the WAMP install?

WAMPStack uses the 80 and 3306 ports for Apache and MySQL (the default ports). If one of these ports are binded you can change during the installation. You can change also using options. Type in a command line: bitnami-installer.exe – - help to more information.

2. What is the correct user name and password for phpmyadmin for a fresh install?

The user is “administrator” and the password is the same that you introduced during the installation.

4. Is there a possibility that these credentials could be shown when you install a new wordpress stack?

Good point. Some users have the same question than you. We will try to clarify this question during the installation.

Cheers.
