title: Error #1045 on phpMyAdmin - Access Denied Mac
body: <p>The full error is #1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) </p>
  
  <p>I am on a Mac, using mamp. This was working just a few weeks ago and I am not sure what happened. I have looked through countless overflow posts and still can't find the problem. Mamp shows me that my host is localhost, port is 8889, and the username and password are both 'root'.</p>
  
  <p><br>
  Config File</p>
  
  <pre><code>$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie';
  $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
  $cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';
  $cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] = false;
  $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'root';
  $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><br>
  There is also the problem when I go to localhost/phpmyadmin/setup where it says 'Please create web server writable folder config in phpMyAdmin top level directory as described in documentation. Otherwise you will be only able to download or display it.'</p>
  
  <p>I DO have a folder called config.</p>
