我正在尝试恢复phpmyadmin的root密码。我遵循网上发现的一些技巧，现在我有更深层次的问题。
我无法登录phpmyadmin。我收到以下错误：
\#2002 - Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
The server is not responding (or the local server's socket is not correctly configured).
Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.
我运行以下命令来验证我的MySQL是否正在运行，
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost'
我收到以下消息：
failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)' Check that mysqld is running and
that the socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' exists!
我不知道下一步该做什么。
