Can't set privileges in MySQL

Question

I tried this:

SET GLOBAL EVENT_SCHEDULER = ON
MySQL said: Documentation
#1227 - Access denied; you need the SUPER privilege for this operation 

This is my second attempt:

GRANT SUPER ON *.* TO user@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'
MySQL said: Documentation

#1045 - Access denied for user '*********'@'localhost' (using password: YES) 

Again I tried this:

UPDATE `USER_PRIVILEGES` SET `PRIVILEGE_TYPE`='ALL',`IS_GRANTABLE`='YES' WHERE 1
in the information schema user privileges
MySQL said: Documentation

#1044 - Access denied for user 'infografix'@'localhost' to database 'information_schema' 

Somebody please help me. I tried every thing nothing works for me.

Answer 1

This is not a phpMyAdmin issue, but a MySQL rights & privileges issue. You need to login to MySQL as a user who can grant privileges—via GRANT—to run the commands you are running successfully.
