Uhm, an existing configuration file should be in /etc/phpMyAdmin I
think? You should just edit the one there and don't touch anything
inside /srv/www/htdocs/phpMyAdmin.

"$cfg['blowfish_secret']" is not a password. It just needs some random
characters, anything. It's not something you'll need to remember.
Also, it's only used when you enable cookie based authentication.

Again, the set-up script (which has been deleted in the openSUSE RPM)
explains all this with direct links to the appropriate sections on the
documentation and pop-up helpers.
