Hello,

For anyone who comes across this question in 2020, I would recommend following the steps here on how to install PHPmyAdmin manually rather than using apt so that you get the latest version which is compatible with MySQL 8.x:

I found my passwords inside the “.digitalocean_password” file within the root home directory “cd ~”
