PhpMyAdmin is showing: mbstring not installed

[PATRICIAF5]

Hi!
Can you tell me why my PhpMyAdmin is showing that mbstring not installed even though it is installed.

If PhpMyAdmin is showing that mbstring not installed even though it I installed then just follow the below steps to fix it.
As you have built mbstring as a shared library,the phpmyadmin cannot find it. You could use "--enable-mbstring" to built in php. So either recompile php, or adjust LD_LIBRARY_PATH to contain the path to mbstring.so or you can add the path like /usr/local/lib/php/<php-version-numbers> in /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig after that.

Let me hijack this thread. I want to know how to reset phpmyadmin user_name and password? FYI, I am able to log in cPanel, but when I am trying to access phpmyadmin section, it asks me to enter user_name and password, which I don't know....What should I do now?
