How to recover phpmyadmin password

Assuming Xampp

You want to edit this file:

"\xampp\phpMyAdmin\config.inc.php"

change this line:$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'WhateverPassword';

to whatever your password is. If you don't remember your password, then run this command in the Shell:

mysqladmin.exe -u root password WhateverPassword

where 'WhateverPassword' is your new password.

OR

There is a batch file called resetroot.bat located in the xammp folders 'C:\xampp\mysql'(works even if U are on mysql) run this and it will delete the phpadmin passwords. Then all you need to do is start the MySQL service in xampp and click the admin button.
