to mention one step before re-installing anything and skipping user handling of
mysql...
initially, there's no root passwort set at all. so you came into the server without
any changes to pma configuration or any special parameter to the mysql client.
did you change that password in the phpmyadmin config.php file to the new one? or
changed it to cookie authorization, so that you could enter your password yourself
anytime you want to login? and for the mysql command line client: did you use it with
the parameter -p to state that you want to use a password?
mysql -h localhost -u root -p
then mysql asks you for the root password on localhost...
just a thought
