I have XamppLite installed. After changing the MySQL datbase password How do I reconfigure phpMyAdmin correctly so phpMyAdmin can access the database?

The following is the readme said:

" C:\XAMPPlite\mysql\bin\mysqladmin.exe -u root -p secret

After changing the password you'll have to reconfigure phpMyAdmin to use the new password, otherwise it won't be able to access the databases. To do that, open the file config.inc.php in \XAMPPlite\phpmyadmin\ and edit the following lines:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root'; // MySQL User
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'http'; // HTTP authentification
"

It says I have to edit the following lines, but when I open those files and go to those lines they are exactly the same. What am I supposed to change about in those lines. thanks for your help in advance

If $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] is 'http' or 'cookie', then you shouldn't have to make any changes to config.inc.php. By the way, I prefer 'cookie'.

When you browse to http://localhost/phpmyadmin/, it will ask for your MySQL username and password.

If $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] were 'config', then $cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] and $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] to the correct values.

thx:) I'll try and reinstall xampp and see if I can get it to work.
