I run phpMyAdmin on Apache on my own system; for different purposes..
nevertheless I forgot my password to the phpMyAdmin database, ; how
can I get out of this dilemna...??? if there is a log file it is probably encrypted
so how can I get around this without re-installing.

search the web (or this forum) for 'lost mysql root password' or 'recover mysql password'. The question is also answered in the MySQL FAQ.

If you have local (or even remote ftp) access to the server, just download/open phpmyadmin's config.php and the password should be there...
