I downloaded and installed phpMyAdmin 4.8.5 on my windows. Upon opening it in the browser, it immediately asks for a Username and Password. I tried to submit root
for username while leaving the password black. I even try password
as password. Unluckily, both didn't work by default.
So I checked the web and I saw this from stackoverlow. Unfortunately, all of the given answers did not work for me and hello no, the thread is already closed.

Here's what I did
config.sample.inc
php filesample
from the titleconfig.inc
and look for$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = false;
true
By doing this, we are allowing the phpMyAdmin to submit an empty password.
Now, try
root
as a username and leave the password blank.Hope this will work for you as well.
