Locked out of permissions (only) on phpmyadmin

[ddd1600]

So this is sort of a story:

 

- About an hour ago I logged into phpmyadmin to a warning message, advising me to put a password on my root user(s). I did so, and immediately was locked out. So I hit the forums and found a solution to THAT problem, by altering the "config.inc.php" file.

 

I changed the first block of text to this (real pw has been edited out):

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '[passwordremovedforforum]';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysql';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = false
;

 

So now, again, I'm just locked out of the privileges section of phpmyadmin, which I imagine is something I should fix tonight before I revisit it in a few days and get even more angry.

 

Thanks guys
