How to Solve PHPMyAdmin Error: "Login Without a Password is Forbidden by Configuration (see AllowNoPassword)"

If you've encountered the PHPMyAdmin error message "Login without a password is forbidden by configuration," there's a straightforward solution. 

This error typically arises when PHPMyAdmin is configured to require a password for login, but you need to access your MySQL databases without providing a password. 

Here's how to resolve it:

1. Access PHPMyAdmin Configuration:

   Open your termux or command prompt and navigate to the directory where PHPMyAdmin is installed. In most cases, this is located in the directory.

   cd /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/share/phpmyadmin

    
   
   

2. Edit Configuration File:

   Use a text editor to modify the PHPMyAdmin configuration file:

   nano config.inc.php

3. Allow No Password:

   Inside the config.inc.php file, locate the line that specifies the authentication type:

   $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = false;

    

   
   
   

   Change 'false' to 'true' to enable login without a password:

   $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true;

   Save your changes and exit the text editor.

4. Restart PHPMyAdmin:

   To apply the new configuration, restart PHPMyAdmin by killing the PHPMyAdmin process:

   pkill -f phpmyadmin

By following these steps, you should no longer encounter the "Login without a password is forbidden by configuration" error in PHPMyAdmin. You can now log in without providing a password as required.
