title: phpMyAdmin MySQL password reset does not let me login
body: <p>Hey and thanks for reading, i am locked out of my own server...</p>
  
  <p>I went to <code>http://localhost/security/</code> and changed the mysql password for the root user , apparently was not such a good idea because i cant access my phpmyadmin site anymore to configure mysql, WHY? </p>
  
  <p>I've looked online but all they talk about is how to reset your password, I would like to know how I can login into the current phpmyadmin now after i changed the mysql password . </p>
  
  <p>Please help this vulnerable noob be less vulnerable </p>
  
  <p>Bonus: Is there a way to protect the sites on local host with a password</p>
