I solved my issue like that  You need the change auth type  config  to  http    My older settings auth type is  config  then i changed to  http  and problem solved    When you changed that area and enter the phpMyAdmin  browser asks you a user and password  You just enter  root  and dont fill the password area and press enter      Authentication type and info     cfg  Servers    i   auth type      http    cfg  Servers    i   user      root    cfg  Servers    i   password          cfg  Servers    i   extension      mysqli    cfg  Servers    i   AllowNoPassword     true   cfg  Lang
