What to do when Phpmyadmin keeps asking for a password ?

To resolve this error, apply the tips given below.

1. Resetting the cPanel password. 

Here are the steps that we follow.

i. First, we login to WHM at https://:2087 as user root.

Then using the server's root password.

ii. Now, we go to 'Home >> Account Information >> List Accounts'.

iii. Then we click on the + sign near the domain for which we want to change the cPanel password. We see an option there to change the password.

iv. Here, we select the option “Sync Mysql password with account password” and change the password.

2. We ensure that we are using the right password. Normally, we need to use the MySQL password rather than the phpMyAdmin password here.

3. We try to clear the browser cache.

4. If the drive is full, then the PHP session times out resulting in throwing us back to the login page again and again. So we ensure that we have enough space in the server.

5. Reloading the server can also help sometimes.
