This is because MySQL by default use local system account to login as user root. This is done with plugin “unix_socket” or it might possible that password has been changed.



To allow MySQL user root to login to PhpMyAdmin, run following commands in MySQL command prompt



use mysql;
UPDATE user SET plugin='mysql_native_password' WHERE User='root';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;


see PhpMyAdmin

    step 1. sudo mysql -u root -p



    step 2. USE mysql;



    step 3. ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'admin';



    Here 'admin' is your new password, yo can change it.



    step 4. exit
    Thanks. You are done.

      I solved the above problem with setting the plugin value in user tables



      mysql> USE mysql;
      mysql> UPDATE user SET plugin='mysql_native_password' WHERE User='root';
      mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
      mysql> exit;

      $ service mysql restart
