Access error in phpMyAdmin. How to fix?

Question

MySQL

Installed xampp on mac os. I go to the address localhost/phpmyadmin and see it


read on the Internet, they advised me to write the following in config.default.php :

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = '123456';

But nothing helped.
Who will tell you what's going on? Thanks

_____
If in config.inc.php comment out
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
then an authorization window will appear, but when you click on "Login" the message appears
Unable to connect to the MySQL server

Answer 1

На самом деле, указание controluser в конфиге phpMyAdmin не обязательно. Поэтому можете попробовать удалить оттуда controluser и controlpass, а затем отключить configuration storage, добавив в конфиг вот это:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['pmadb'] = null;

Answer 2

Обычно стандартный пользователь MySQL root ( без пароля )
