Can't log into phpMyAdmin

[keith smith]

Cleared browser cookies and history and I still cannot log in with either FireFox or IE. I now get a message on the phpMyAdmin login that says "Cookies must be enabled past this point.".  I cannot log in from my desktop using firefox or IE.  To either phpMyAdmin that I have setup on two different servers.

I tried with my laptop.  I get the cookies message and can login just like normal.

Must be something on my desktop.

Looked in the logs, (httpd/MySql) nothing.    

config.inc.php is almost all commented out.  Where the user name and password would go it is commented out leaving the original lines

// $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = 'pma';
// $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = 'pmapass';

There is no include either.

I am at a real loss here.  I can login to MySql from the CL but cannot login to phpMyAdmin using the same user name and password.  According to the docs the login is just a pass through.

I compared the config.inc.php to another installation that I have on another server and it is identical. 

Any suggestions are much appreciated.

phpmyadmin uses a config file, which might be called
 config.inc.php .  This
config file may include another file, possibly called servers.inc.php , which
contains things like $cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'somebody';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'supersecret'; .  That's the first thing I'd
check; grep all of its config files for the string 'user' and make sure the
usernames and passwords in the files are right, then try again.  BTDT, though
it took about 2 minutes to fix once I knew what was going on.
