how to change password for phpmyadmin

[alonzo]

hi,


how do i change the root password for phpmyadmin login? the root password is blank right now. there is no option that i can find on the root login page or in the Privileges page.
 
i hate to ask such a noob question but i seem to have no choice. and of course i get the warning about it. and it is risky. :(

please advise.

thank you,

alonzo
