I am using the guide(https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-secure-phpmyadmin-on-ubuntu-18-04) to install PHPMyAdmin panel on a fresh droplet.
All the Apache and SQL server are installed successfully. While installing the PhpMyAdmin will stick on “enter PhpmyAdmin application password screen”. I have tried several combinations following different articles available on Youtube, the Internet and this forum as well.
The Password Screen will simply return a pop-up 1819 error(see here: See this image : Image). No matter how complex, long or short(8-character) password I choose, it will always reflect the same error. I even tried letting it decide a random password by simply pressing enter key twice, this returned me with with “password mismatch error”.
As I see there are several other users on the forum asking the same question with zero success rate. Kindly response. I am using Ubuntu 20 with apache 2 on PHP 7.3. Thanks Trying this for three days with no clue and solutions.
