How can i get my mysql login and password?

Question

I'm on a mac and am using Mamp. I 'm just trying to connect to my database through the function mysqli_connect(). But it says:

Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

I have no idea whatsoever on how to retrieve my login and my password. I've read some posts and apparently it's on a php file: etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php but I cannot find it. Thanks.

Default user and password for MAMP is root . Or, you can use your own password by change it manually by run this on Terminal :

/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password NEWPASSWORD
