phpmyadmin password

Hi guys,
in install on ubuntu 19.10 phpmyadmin and during the configuration i get the following questions:

Code:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin
reinstall database - yes
connection method for mysql - unix socket
mysql database name for phpmyadmin - phpmyadmin
mysql username: root@localhost
pw = password
webserver - apache2
name of databases administrator  debian-sys-maint

when i login with user root@localhost to phpmyadmin and put in my password, it is not accepted.
on console i do mysql -u root -p then put my password but i get Access denied for user root@localhost
what i am doing wrong?
maybe someone can help me with this matter..

thanks a log guys

 

Try the command: cat /usr/local/ispconfig/server/lib/mysql_clientdb.conf

It should give you the root password.
