I tried to reconfigure phpmyadmin by this

sudo dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin

Then after few steps I get this:

ERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost'

A config file is missing (and probably more)

I'm using ubuntu 18.04

sudo mysql -u root -p

Next, check which authentication method each of your MySQL user accounts use with the following command:

SELECT user,plugin,host FROM mysql.user;

What is there in plugin column for 'debian-sys-maint'?

To exit the MySQL shell:

quit
