Ok, I know it was totally dumb...

But now when I go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin/index.php

I get this message:

Error

MySQL said: Documentation
#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password:
NO)

I hadn't set up any other passwords and I'm just learning at the
moment, so I have no idea how to get back into mySQL.

Can anyone ??

Thanks,

Hugo

It may be worth trying with a blank password:

mysql --user=root -p

Just hit enter when prompted for password.
