You need to add mcrypt extension to PHP configuration, dynamic loading
is usually disabled in PHP.

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.

Please read documentation how to use setup script.
