 * Here’s my problem: I’m using wampserver for my local server but when whenever
   I go to phpmyadmin its takes me to this login page but i don’t know what my username
   or password is. It doesn’t take me to the right link I really need help on this!

 * On the phpmyadmin login page, try username: root and leave the password field
   blank.
 * If that doesn’t work, try opening up this file
 * `/etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php`
 * You should be able to find lines that indicate what the username and password
   are.
 *     ```
       $cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'some username';
       $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'some password';
       ```
