When you install phpmyadmin it creates a folder called "phpmyadmin" where you installed in it.
This folder needs to go in your html documents folder. Then all you need to go to it is

www.mywebsite.com/phpmyadmin

it already contains a file called index.php so it should load this automatically if not type in phpmyadmin/index.php

There is an INSTALL file within the distribution:

[2] Open the file config.inc.php3 in your favourite editor and change
    the values for host, user and password to fit your environment.
    Have a lok at Documentation.html for an explanation of all values.

Should be something like:

$cfgServers[1]['host'] = 'localhost'; // MySQL hostname
$cfgServers[1]['user'] = 'dbadmin'; // MySQL user
$cfgServers[1]['pass'] = 'bla'; // MySQL password

Point your browser to http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/index.php
