You try to run phpMyAdmin
a) with the URI "http://localhost/phpmyadmin/" in your browser, or
b) with the link in the demopages)?

--> a) If there is a file ".htaccess" in the phpMyAdmin directory, delete it.
--> b) Don't use the link.

can u tell me wat is the default username for the xampp

i ran into the same problem and figured the answer from trial and error. the default username is 'lampp' for some of the apps, and 'root' for others

I prefer to use 'cookie', rather than 'http', for 'auth_type'. Then you won't have the confusion of multiple layers of .htaccess files.
