Password Problems, Connect Via terminal not via myadmin

[Alexej Kubarev]

check if your authenticcation type is not set to config (in config.inc.php )
then there is another thing: did you flush the priviliges? are you sure that you've not changed the host you way be connecting from?
what mysql server version are you running?

well, im not sure about the cause of the problem.
however you might neeed to change this line:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysql';

to

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli';

reason: mysqli is needed for propper communication with mysql 5.0

but this shouldnt be the cause of the problem as it worked fine before.
try changing your pass via console and try to login again.

hmmz... are you sure you have the mysqli extention ENABLED in your php.ini ?
well, this is veeery weird, seems to me that the was the problem with how the passwords should be saved or something.

how about removing your password at all? can you login then?
