So i installed LAMP on my server and set everything up, installed phpmyadmin and even secured it. But when i try to log into phpmyadmin to upload my database it doesnt allow me. i keep getting errors “Login without a password is forbidden by configuration (see AllowNoPassword)” “#1698 - Access denied for user ‘root’@‘localhost’”
I have tried everything and nothing. I really need to try and get this running by tomorrow. any help appreciated

Create your database and credentials via CLI, over SSH or console:
CREATE DATABASE techwolv_warehouse;
GRANT ALL ON techwolv_warehouse.* to kenboyer_invento IDENTIFIED BY 'passwordhere';```
Then log in to phpMyAdmin with the user/pass you used on that second line, browse to the database, and upload the backup to it.
Bypass phpMyAdmin entirely by getting the database dump into the droplet elsewhere, then run something like:
mysql techwolv_warehouse < techwolv_warehouse.sql
