Hi, I had this problem, and the phpmyadmin wouldn't run at all.
What I did was to ssh into the box, try both the old mysql password and the
bassi-mysql password to log in. Then I changed the root password back to my
old password using mysqladmin. After that, the php worked again and the
dbase admin is great. I don't think the GUI change password screen works
correctly, I kept getting 404 errors when using it.
You must have php enabled for the site where you want to access phpmyadmin
from BTW.
