I sloved it with below steps:

1) Open config.inc.php file

2) Change file permition to write

sudo chmod 777 /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php

3) Add below line to the file

 $cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
 $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'MY_SQL ROOT_USER_PASSWORD';
 $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true;

service mysql start or service mysql start

6) open

http://localhost/phpmyadmin

Answer 3

in terminal, type

sudo gedit '/etc/phpmyadmin/config-db.php'

The user file will get open Just check the username like

Just copy this username and password without quotes in login page.
