Hello everyone ,

I have created a user : librairie_user
and a database : librairie_db both have less than 16 characters

nevertheless I canno't connect to phpadmin Its says wrong password or user_name
password: <edited out>

thanks for your help

The password given is incorrect for the user, if you don't remember the password, drop the user and recreate it.

I am having the exact same problem. I have tried every variation I can think of to get logged in through phpMyAdmin and it will not allow me to log in. I put the database username and password in as instructed and it pops up the login information box again as if I have entered in an incorrect password. I have created a user soldierofchrist_tim and assigned all privileges to this user account. My password is 6 characters long which meets the 5-15 character requirement for passwords. I have tried different usernames. I have erased previous ones. I keep entering new ones. They all come up with the same problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Your user name is too long - the maximum length is 16 characters, and yours is 19. Unfortunately there is no way for you to make a user name of 16 or fewer characters.

The solution is to create another site with a shorter name, create the db's ect on on that site, then connect to your new db's from your old site.

Why is the user name only 16 characters long when the site says "Only lowercase English alphabet letters, digits and $ allowed with a maximum of 53 characters."
