Are you logged in as the user who owns that account, or the root user for the server or reseller?

user that owns the account

What login screen precisely? The PhpMyAdmin login screen and it provides some type of error? Please provide a screen print if possible of what it is sending you to for the login.

Please note that if you have recently changed your cPanel password and previously set up any /home/username/.my.cnf file that hard coded the MySQL username and password, you'll end up unable to authenticate to PhpMyAdmin any longer at that point, since it will grab the .my.cnf login details rather than the ones you are already logged into cPanel using. The only way to resolve if that's what is happening would be to move /home/username/.my.cnf to /home/username/.my.cnf.bak and then you should be able to properly log into PhpMyAdmin.

Unofficial fix, be sure you leave the mysql password box checked when you change the password.

login to cpanel > click change pass > add a new password > logout of cpanel > log back in > and phpmyadmin works

Cpanel, is there a sync password script for mysql? Sort of like the /scripts/ftpupdate one?

Also, /scripts/chpass does not update the mysql password either so this will break phpmyadmin now

Changing password resolved this for me as well but it did not work initially even with MySQL password change checked. I initially guessed it was my browser caching the log in page but even our client could reproduce this on different browsers. I opened a ticket with cPanel but they were unable to reproduce this. Ref Ticket #1011226 (contains screenshots for any staff interested in checking).
