Created control/usr/pwd now i can't loginto Mysql

Question

When setting up a config file for phpmyadmin, I set up a
control user and password, and now when I try to log into mysql I
get the message "Wrong username/password. Access denied". But when
i try logging into Mysql using the command promt, I get access to
Mysql. I want to remove the control user and password so I can use
my original Mysql username and password. If i'm stuck with this
control user and password, how can i get access through phpmyadmin
to Mysql, with it?

Change the values in config.inc.php. If you set up auth_type
as config,
you will connect automatically as the designated user account
(normally
root). If you want to connect with different user accounts,
change
auth_type to http. You will then be prompted for username and
password
each time.
