Your previous admin probably set up some security around phpmyadmin. (If he didn't he's grossly negligent.) You will need to work your way through/around that, after you've discovered what it is.

On a different topic, why do you need phpmyadmin anyway? It does not administer php - its function is to remotely manage a MySQL database "behind" the web server. If you have access to the server (and it looks like you do have), you don't need to use it at all.

Cheers,
Peter

If you think this is a good answer, vote and accept it.

[Edit: added in reply to OP's comment]
I was not sure what you were trying to do. My point was that you appear to have local access to the server, so you can manage MySQL without using phpmyadmin.
phpmyadmin is one of the major targets for those nasty pepole who hack websites. About 80% of the intrusion attempts on my websites are probing for phpmyadmin (which isn't there ;) )
