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:

@bryan,

You should use the password that you created while setting up when first running `apt-get install phpmyadmin`

The screen should have looked like:
