Root pasword

[Kurnia]

I changed password for user 'root' with phpMyAdmin from blank to 'admin'. It is done successfully. But when I started phpMyAdmin again it('admin') is not recognized by phpMyAdmin and I get wrong message :
"Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)."
I tested to open(user : root, password 'admin') with another MySQL GUI(SQLyog) and it is done successfully. Is it my mistakes or something wrong with phpMyAdmin ?

You don't get a wrong message. phpmyadmin tries to connect without any password, and thats absolutely correct.
Just because you change a password in mysql, phpmyadmin can't know that automatically.
You have to tell phpmyadmin what you want to do. You have two possibilities:

• Write down your phpmyadmin password in your phpmyadmins config.inc.php
• change the auth_type value in your phpmyadmins config.inc.php from config to cookie or http and login yourself

The second option is the recommend one from security point of view.
