On newer versions of Ubuntu, you shouldn’t need to use php5enmod as the package manager, apt, will handle enabling PHP modules. So if you receive an error when trying to run that command, that shouldn’t be a cause for concern.
When you ran this command:
htpasswd -c /etc/phpmyadmin/.htpasswd username
You should have been prompted to enter a password and confirm said password for each user that you create. For example, if I wanted to add geeber as a user, I’d run:
htpasswd -c /etc/phpmyadmin/.htpasswd geeber
… then enter a password and confirm the password.
Once that’s done, when visiting the URL you provided, I’d use geeber as the username as well as the password I setup when running the above command.
Once you’re past that authentication prompt, the credentials you’d use for phpMyAdmin depend on what you setup when creating your databases. You can also use root and the root password for MySQL.
