[MLUG] phpMyAdmin

["Pepper, Mike" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I am just starting to work with phpMyAdmin.
I am running version 2.5.6, mySQL version 4.0.18, and Apache 2.
My question is when I log in remotly to phpMyAdmin, it prompts me for a
user name and password.
Where does this info get pulled from? How can I can change the user name
and the password?
I have attempted to do it in the config.inc.php file, I have also gone
into mysql and typed:

--------excerpt from
http://coolsolutions.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1997 -----------------

>From my user account, open a terminal window. 

Type "cd /bin" (no quotes) 

Type "mysql -u root" [enter] to log into the "MySQL monitor" tool as the
root user. 

Type "UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = PASSWORD('rock0n') WHERE User =
'root'; 

Enter. 

This will secure your database with a password. 

---------------------------------------------end
excerpt---------------------------------

I used a different password, and a different user name other than root,
This did not seem to make any difference.
I just don't feel good leaving the door wide open with default items on
the phpMyAdmin log in page.

Any ideas where I can lock this down from and choose my own user name
and password?

The box is SuSE 9.1 Pro

Thanks in advance

Mike
