Lets find out something
Are you trying to pass http passwords to it?
If so just change your auth_type to 'http' then you will use the http type login ..

Otherwise .. I have no idea what you're trying to do .. As you could pass the login and PW in a URL or in a form just like the one
on the login page phpMyAdmin uses. I'm not sure if this all helps .. So a plan of usage might allow me to be more direct.

--------------{ EXAMPLE }---------------------------------
On my servers I have a staff area with phpmyadmin located
Inside it. The auth_type is set to 'http' and so therefore
Since to get to the staff area requres a password.. So 
Also does the [phpmyadmin) and each staff has their login
Which I've programmed in using htpasswd
----------------------------------------------------------


$cfg['Servers'][$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)
