unable to setup phpMyAdmin

[steve404@…]

Hello,

I'm following instructions at the below link to setup Apache, MySQL and PHP. ​https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/MAMP

At the end of the page it describes how to setup phpMyAdmin:

Finally, you need to set up the phpMyAdmin configuration to access mySQL. First, set up the config file:

cd /opt/local/www/phpmyadmin/
cp config.sample.inc.php config.inc.php
This will create a file config.inc.php in the phpMyAdmin folder. Edit that file, and locate the lines:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type']     = 'config';    // Authentication method (config, http or cookie based)?
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user']          = 'root';      // MySQL user
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']      = '';          // MySQL password (only needed
                                                    // with 'config' auth_type)
Where ' ' is an empty password; fill it with your MySQL root password. You can either change the 'auth_type' from 'config' to 'cookie' or 'httpd', or alternatively provide the password you selected for the root user in the 'password' option.

I'm able to create file config.inc.php, however when I search for the section to define the password, I don't have that section of code.

How do I set the password? Do I just add those 3 or 4 lines of code?
