    This is not really related to phpMyAdmin ; it depends on the MySQL server itself — phpMyAdmin being only the tool you’re using to interrogate MySQL.

    Anyway, this section of MySQL’s manual should help you : Password Hashing in MySQL : (quoting) :

    what is stored in the Password
    column of the user table is not the
    plaintext version of the password, but
    a hash value computed from it.

    Password hash values are computed
    by the PASSWORD() function.
