Here, we will cover how to fix an access denied error to phpMyAdmin by resetting the cPanel password.
This error can be encountered when logging into phpMyAdmin from cPanel. The error shows an access denied message and asks for a username and password.
The exact error message is as follows:
mysqli_connect(): (28000/1045): Access denied for user 'userna5'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
This error likely means the MySQL user with the same name as your cPanel user does not have the same password as the cPanel user.
