My MAMP server won't maintain links to its MySQL DBs.

Not sure what's happening, but I set up MAMP on my MacBook on 9/25 and it's been fine until this week, and now I can no longer access phpMyAdmin. It gives me the attached error page instead.

I just tried deleting and re-installing MAMP to no avail. I got into phpMyAdmin initially, but as soon as I'd established a DB for my new WordPress install and given it a unique password, it reverted to the same frozen condition. Clicking on "Retry" leads to a 404 page.

Woe is me,

Barry

To clarify, I get an "Error: 1045 SQLSTATE: 28000 (ER_ACCESS_DENIED_ERROR) Message: Access denied for user '%s'@'%s' (using password: %s)" and cannot use MySQL DBs.

False alarm! Was able to fix it by changing my password in the phpMyAdmin config.inc.php file.

Phew!
