I will assume that you have installed the xampp to */opt/lampp* directory:

Fire up a terminal and edit the config file of phpmyadmin...
$ sudo gedit /opt/lampp/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php

Edit the following  line:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = '*config*';

to look like:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = '*cookie*';

Then refresh the phpmyadmin page:
You will be prompted with dialog box to login.

Hope you got this.

In this case while using xampp, I suggest the following command to secure
your lampp installation:

$ sudo /opt/lampp/lampp security
*<this will allow you to change the mysql root password as well>*
