Are you have start the phpmyadmin service ?
If you are using xampp, check the phpmyadmin configuration:


C:xamppphpMyAdmin
open and edit config.inc.php with your text editor


Look at this line:


/* Authentication type and info */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true;
$cfg['Lang'] = '';

/* Bind to the localhost ipv4 address and tcp */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '127.0.0.1';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';


In this configuration, the username is "root" and password is empty, hosted on 127.0.0.1
