Re: ERROR 1045 (28000) Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'. Symfony. Bitnami WAMP

[gintare statkute]

1) I am not able to login to MYSQL through console
using command: mysql -u root -p

I am getting error: ERROR 1045 (28000) Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

2) I am not able to login to PhpMyAdmin, using user "root" and empty field for password. The user is not recognised.

in folder C:\Bitnami\wampstack-5.4.36-0\apps\phpmyadmin\htdocs\config.inc.php

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['nopassword'] = true;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true;


I use command: mysql --help --verbose
It output the following directories and filenames:

Default options are read from the following files in the given order:
C:\Windows\my.ini 
C:\Windows\my.cnf 
C:\my.ini 
C:\my.cnf 
c:\bitnami\wampstack-5.4.36-0\mysql\my.ini 
c:\bitnami\wampstack-5.4.36-0\mysql\my.cnf

I could not find (they does not exist):
C:\my.ini
C:\my.cnf
C:\Windows\my.ini
C:\Windows\my.cnf
c:\bitnami\wampstack-5.4.36-0\mysql\my.cnf

I found only
c:\bitnami\wampstack-5.4.36-0\mysql\my.ini
which does not contain password option. The contents without most of comments:
