There are 3 ways of doing authentication in phpMyAdmin. The most common is to 
enter the username/password for the database in the config.php file.

If you want to run a simple test, download the tarball of the latest build 
from www.phpmyadmin.net, and expand it in one of your domain's web 
directories. Then edit the config file with your password, hostname, etc.  
and point your browser at it.  If you can get it to work like that, then it's 
a matter of figuring out the config options required for that other version.
