I set a password for my phpmyadmin account, for obvious security reasons. The problem is now i cannot access phpmyadmin at all,

If i go to

http://localhost/phpmyadmin/

Welcome to phpMyAdmin 2.3.2
Error
MySQL said:
Access denied for user: 'root@127.0.0.1' (Using password: NO)


I actually want to log in as the user kingy, not root, but there is no login box or anything. I really don't understand how i have done this.

You need to edit the config.inc.php file to change the username, etc.

Also, see if you can change the host from 127.0.0.1 to localhost. 127.0.0.1 isn't a host, it's an IP address.

127.0.0.1 is the same thing as localhost...
