The default password for MySQL under MAMP

The default password for MySQL under MAMP is username: root, password: root. Apparently the default password in a plain vanilla install is username: root, password: "" (empty).

  1. Was wondering what this was, and you where top of the results in Google, so thanks! :D


  2. Same thing as with Robert happened to me. Thanks!



  3. I have installed MAMP and it automatically gave me root and root. I also do freelance work for a company that is PC based, using WAMP, and their password is in plain vanilla. How can I change my password on MAMP?

    PS. I’m a designer and NOT a developer so you can imagine my reaction when I saw SQL and Apache. :-O


  4. thanks for the tip, that was very helpful to me.
