title: phpMyAdmin installation - ERROR 1045: Acces denied (using: password: NO)
body: <p>I tried to install phpMyAdmin on Ubuntu 16.04LTS, for MariaDB and Apache. The problem is that during the setup process, it asks me about 'root' name, but not for root's password, and I end up with common <code>ERROR 1045 (28000): Acces denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)</code><br><br>
  Lately I've reinstalled Apache and MariaDB, but I don't know how to deal with this problem. I've already tried <code>dpkg-reconfure dbconfig-common</code>, and <code>dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin</code>, but every time this ERROR showed up.
  Also, I know the root password, and I can normally log in with <br><code>mysql -u root -p</code>, so the only question is how to give it to the phpmyadmin.<br><br>
  I checked my config.inc.php, but I can't see any place to put either administrative user's name or passowrd.</p>
