Hello, I was setting up my uniform server. And when I try to go to Privileges I write my Username and password and I get this error

Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.
This is because you changed the password to pma. You have to paste the new pma password in config.inc.php (phpmyadmin configuration file, same place as where you change from config to cookie/httpd just a little bit more down).

If you are confused, do like this:
Enter phpmyadmin, click on priviledges, edit pma, click generate password, COPY the generated password and paste it under the "pma" part in config.inc.php (same place you change from http to cookie based phpmyadmin).
After saving the new password to config.inc php, go to phpmyadmin and save the user "pma" with the new password.

And it should work fine.

ok this is confusing me, I can't get into phpmyadmin since I'm having a "controluser" issue so how am I supposed to enter it and where are privileges since I see none

Where is the mysql server hosted?
You should have root access for the mysql server if you own it.

You can simply drop the user pma from phpmyadmin and create a new user for the server with a generated password and a database.
