How to Increase file import size limit in phpMyAdmin

Hello. I face problem while uploading files because of its size. The default file import/upload size in phpMyAdmin is 2MB, For increasing file import size You need to make some changes in php.ini file and restart apache server. After changing following parameter you’ll able to import big .sql file easily.
Here i am going to take example of ubantu LAMP server , find php.ini file and open it on any text editor.

sudo vim /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

if you are using any other server like WAMP, XAMPP similar find php.ini and open it on text editor
Find and Change these values in php.ini file.

post_max_size = 1024M 
upload_max_filesize = 1024M 
max_execution_time = 5000 
max_input_time = 5000 
memory_limit = 1024M

Note: don’t forget to allocate larger value to memory_limit then post_max_size.
Finally restart apache server and your new upload size will be visible on phpMyAdmin file import section, You you can upload larger file.

sudo service apache2 restart

 

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.
