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.
