Sounds like a security problem. Not sure about Windows, but on Linux, phpMyAdmin has a config.inc.php which holds the MySQL password. Make sure those are sync'd. If need be log into mysql and change the password for the users phpMyAdmin will use, usually "root". If you're not sure how to do that, google it, or ask here and we'll walk you through it.

sham123,

I hate to say it, but it sounds like you need to read the documentation.

when i click at the local host there is nothing display

And you have something like 'index.html' in the directory that the Apache configuration has as the DocumentRoot, right?

I'm not a windows user, but if you bring up a command shell. Change directory to the mysql/bin folder, and run...

mysql -uroot -p

If it does not prompt for a password, the root password for mysql is blank. You should change your mysql root password.

mysql> use mysql;
mysql> update user set Password=PASSWORD("your_new_password") where User='root';
#it should say how many rows were affected probably 1
mysql>quit;

Add that password to the config.inc.php in phpmyadmin/config and you will be syncronized. As long as phpmyadmin is under apache's DocumentRoot, you should be able to get there by...

http://ip_of_the_server/phpmyadmin

If this does not work for you, find the file under Apache which contains DocumentRoot. Paste it here along with the phpmyadmin config.inc.php file and it's location.
