My apologies. I'm new to all of this, so don't really know the difference between beginner, developer, database query, "generic" or arrogant jerk to be honest.

I have successfully installed phpMyAdmin on my server (linux, has all the requisite stuff needed to run everything) but i get this error:
#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
(also this one: Cannot load mcrypt extension. Please check your PHP configuration.)
You need to add mcrypt extension to PHP configuration, dynamic loading is usually disabled in PHP.
i tried the documented suggestion:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'cbb74bc'; // use here your
password
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config'
by putting in my own password with root as the login and got same error. also tried $cfg['Servers'][$i]['nopassword'] and generating a script
using
phpMyAdmin/setup/ which also didn't allow login.
Fist consider rather using cookie authentication which provides better security.
Besides that, are you sure you are entering correct password? phpMyAdmin does nothing more than connecting to the MySQL server and passing login information to it.
i created a "config" folder under phpMyAdmin and dropped the
config.inc.php
into that, and also dropped it into /setup/frames/ with the various
attempts
and that didn't work either
Please read documentation how to use setup script.
