Fix phpmyadmin login problem in Kali Linux

Hi there, hows going on?
In Kali Linux, If you want to run LAMP server, you'll get login problem in http://localhost/phpmyadmin . When you install phpmyamin it basically setup without password, but MySQL won't let you login without Password.


Lets see how to get rid off it.

Open terminal shell and type the following command to start mysql & apache2:

service apache2 start && mysql start

Now type the following command  to enter into mysql prompt:

mysql -h localhost -u root -p

You'll ask to enter password. So type your root password that is your mysql current password.

Now type the following command to change mysql password:

mysql >  set password for root@localhost = password('abc123');

Now press CTRL+C to exit the mysql prompt.

Type following command to restart mysql & apache2

service apache2 restart && mysql restart

Thats all. Now goto http://localhost/phpmyadmin and login with username: root and password: abc123


Enjoy! :-)
