"using the password: no" means that you try to access mysql for user root, without a password. So you may have set a password, but it could be missing from the config file.
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
// put here your password after setting one
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';
