How to Change Password from phpMyAdmin?

Asked by taz011 in MySQL Server, PHP Scripting Language

Tags: phpMyAdmin, MySQL

I'm trying to change the password of the root user for MySql (right now the root uses no password). So, to change that, I go to the admin page (http://localhost/phpmyadmin) and in the "Change Password" form, I type the password and retype the confirmation. Then I click go. This gives me the message "The password for 'root'@'127.0.0.1' was changed successfully."

However, I can still use other clients such as 'MySQL Query Browser' to login to the database without password (If I use the new password, it gives me error message).

So, how do I change the password of a user from MySQLAdmin?

Also, there are 2 forms in the phpMyAdmin (http://localhost/phpmyadmin) where you can change password; one is under "Change Password" setting, and the other is "Change Login Information / Copy User" form. What is the difference between these 2?

Thanks,
Dan
