I can’t login to phpMyAdmin anymore: Cannot log in to the MySQL server
All my sites on the server just show a blank page. There were some odd files in my Wordpress folders, so it seems I’m hacked. Now I’m afraid that they have hacked my databases.
How can I get access to phpMyAdmin? Reset the password? How?

I had the same problem. Try looking in /etc/phpmyadmin/config-db.php I found that the default dbuser is phpmyadmin instead of root
