If you are using a blank password uncomment:

// $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = TRUE;

It is safe if you are inside an isolated development VM, otherwise set a password.

I've been having the same problem, but I think I may have sorted it out..

Solution: Assuming you used the setup.php file to setup phpMyAdmin, once you've finished configuring your mysql server and you've saved the changes, copy the config.inc.php file, auto-created in the config/ folder, out into the phpMyAdmin folder.. Make sure it's write-protected and delete the config/ folder.. Then refresh your browser..

Worked for me.. Hope it works for you too.

Cheers.
