So… I was trying to log onto my phpmyadmin to change some tables manually and I cannot login… I tried the common password I would use and no luck… I got hacked? W00T??? So I started lookign around and what got me thinking was that no matter what user i tried using to login I would get an erro saying that I cannot access as user ‘root’! So at the end what si the problem? A cookie!!! Thanks to this post I was able to solve the issue!

In Firefox Clear all cookies that begin with “pma” or “pma_”

Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> Cookies -> View Coolies.
Choose the Cookies for the site “linwebXX.edikon.net” that start with “pma_” and delete them.
Close the Window

That’s ALL!!!
Happy mysql’ing
