In the Sokkit/PHPTriad/Apache webserver how can I determine and set the value of the User Name and the Password, or disable these questions from being asked when accessing PHPMyAdmin?

I'll take a stab at the username being root and the password not being set, if you installed this and are just trying it out. If someone else set it up you'll need to refer to the mysql forum on how to re-set the mysql root password.

1. PHPMyAdmin
You need to edit the configuration file for PHPMyAdmin. Find the config.inc.php in the phpmyadmin folder, the server connection parameters are the first section in the file.

2. Follow KarveR's advice and create another user to connect to the server through PHPMyAdmin. You are a seasoned computer porofessional, so you know that connecting to a server as 'root' without a password is a security issue and should be avoided. The MySQL manual has a whole section how to setup the privilege system:

Hope that helps.
