Navigated to phpMyAdmin folder, and edited the file “config.inc.php”

Looked for the line: $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘password’] = ”;

Added any password between ”, let’s say ‘1234’

Reloaded localhost/phpmyadmin & 127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin (both showed the same error)

Reverted “config.inc.php” to the old state (removed the password)
