Courses Plus Student 7,016 PointsHow to connect to mySQL server when it says "Access Denied"?
Hi Everyone,
I am trying to connect to the MySQL server via MAMP. I am using Windows 8. I also changed my password from the default to one I know. I thought I had done this correctly via phpMyAdmin. However, I now try to access it via MAMP and when following along in the course, yet it keeps saying "Access Denied".
Does anyone know how to sort this?
Thanks

Resetting the MySQL password for MAMP requires another update which you can find information about at the below link, essentially you need to update the defined in phpMyAdmin's config file before it will allow access to the MySQL database again.

Can you please tell us where you change the password? Did you change the password as well in the database.php file?
