Copy config sample inc php to config inc php   In most cases you will find the config file   on linux   etc phpmyadmin config inc php on mac   Library WebServer Documents phpmyadmin config inc php   If you are trying to log in as root  you should have the following lines in your config       cfg  Servers    i   user      root      cfg  Servers    i   AllowNoPassword     true

According to this  https   www simplified guide phpmyadmin enable-login-without-password  This  cfg  Servers    i   AllowNoPassword     TRUE  should be added twice in  etc phpmyadmin config inc php  if   empty  dbname            other configuration options      cfg  Servers    i   AllowNoPassword     TRUE         it should be placed before the following line      i          other configuration options  cfg  Servers    i   AllowNoPassword     TRUE

You might have made the same silly mistake that I did  by not removing the    making it a comment   The line should be like this  but not as a comment    cfg  Servers    i   AllowNoPassword     TRUE

cfg  Servers    i   AllowNoPassword     TRUE    yes the above answer is correct  but it s not secure  you can login root user directlyinto phpMyAdmin   If you want to create new user with password and give grant permission  execute the below command in MySQL on terminal   Login into your server on terminal       mysql   mysql gt  GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON     TO   user-name       IDENTIFIED BY   password    REQUIRE NONE WITH GRANT OPTION MAX QUERIES PER HOUR 0 MAX CONNECTIONS PER HOUR 0 MAX UPDATES PER HOUR 0 MAX USER CONNECTIONS 0

Others may find  as I did   working in OS X 10 10 1  that the situation for MAMP PRO  at least in the current release  3 0 7 3  is different   All my attempts to apply the remedies suggested here failed  Upon examining the PHP error log I discovered that the index php that is operating  in  Libary Application Support appsolute MAMP PRO index php -- at line 43  is deciding NOT to go to the config inc php that is discussed here  at  Applications MAMP bin phpMyAdmin config inc php  but rather to  Library Application Support appsolute MAMP PRO phpMyAdmin config inc php    Furthermore  there is no such file there  after a  successful  install of MAMP PRO   so I m stuck with the error  and furtherfuthermore  every time I try to put the correct file there  when I restart MAMP PRO  it is not there anymore - something is automatically refreshed to eliminate the config inc php I m putting there  My workaround for now is to do this in MAMP instead of MAMP PRO

It works  just thought this would be helpful to someone in the future   If you are working with MAMP  as a security measure  the  cfg  Servers    i   AllowNoPassword     true  usually will be missing in the config inc php file so if you want to use phpMyAdmin without a password for root then simply add it preferably after the  cfg  Servers    i   AllowDeny    rules     array    statement    Then Restart your server just to be sure and you will be good to go

After a lot of trials I found the following solution   This will work if you copied all phpmyadmin files in  var www  go to your copied location of phpmyadmin folder in  var www  copy the config sample inc php file as config inc php   edit in config inc php the following line    cfg  Servers    i   AllowNoPassword     true     In original file it was false  change it as true and save it    Then you will be able to login phpmyadmin without password

I tested the statement    cfg  Servers    i   AllowNoPasswordRoot     true     It did not work out for me   Instead    cfg  Servers    i   AllowNoPassword     true     worked    Thanks

I have the same problem here  then I reinstalled mysql and it worked   sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-common mysql-client

Yes not working  I spent whole day with this stupid phpMyAdmin  Just add a new user with a password  1 - Login to mysql or mariadb mysql -u root -p  2 - Run these SQL commands to create a new user with all permissions  or grant your custom permissions   CREATE USER  someone   localhost  IDENTIFIED BY  password   GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON     TO  someone   localhost   FLUSH PRIVILEGES    2 - Go to  etc phpMyAdmin config inc php and change this    cfg  Servers    i   user               someone    cfg  Servers    i   password           password     WARNING  This config is for localhost development server only  If you re running a production server you must use strong credentials and not setting user pass in config inc php

Make sure you don t add or uncomment the AllowNoPassword option after the  i   line      Uncomment the following to enable logging in to passwordless accounts         after taking note of the associated security risks        cfg  Servers    i   AllowNoPassword     TRUE
