Ok I feel silly but I can not figure this one out. I want to force phpmyadmin to require a username and password to get into it. I only want to use the 'config' authentication because its simple and I can change it automatically with a script. The problem is that I don't know where the username and password for this are stored in the phpmyadmin files.

If someone could help me locate that information that would be awesome.

In order to force a username password authentication, you need to edit the config.php file and change the auth type from config to cookie.
