I would like to how to fix this problem. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Go to phpMyAdmin folder (in my case it is C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin3.2.0.1). In the file config.inc.php change the line

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config'

to

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie'

Now the password will be asked on your first visit of the phpMyAdmin page
