changed root password, now no access to MySql - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support


being new, thought security good. logged in phpmyadmin, , saw 2 root users without passwords, , note in red ought change them. gave intricate password 1 root user, fine. gave other, , "access denied: invalid settings". , realize didn't need bother doing password thing @ all, i'm user of computer. anyway...

i'm trying install updated website localhost/desktop live site. have looked @ bunch of files , stared blankly @ them not sure do. tried changing passwords in config.php , nothing did altered outcome.

please can tell me fine, , how can make so? need reassurance database intact , somehow reachable. i've not done directly php files before... :eek:

there many comments on board users getting issues moving sites 1 area another. there easy way you. install joomlapack extensions directory make backup of working site.
then copy newly created backup file onto new server/folder along file kickstart.php (also joomlapack)
if call kickstart.php browser reinstall site backup in new space allowing set new database name/user if required.
