phpmyadmin add-on which username and password ?

This sounds like a setup problem, really.
There are some things to consider first: Is your (obviously local) MySQL server actually up and running? On the ReadyNAS MySQL isn't started by default but rather is either activated by add-ons that need it or manually using the "MySQL On" add-on which can be found in the Community Add-ons section.
Next thing is that on the ReadyNAS the default password for the "root" MySQL user is empty. PhpMyAdmin by default prevents logins using empty passwords for security reasons. To change this, you have to set the "Allow empty passwords" checkbox while configuring your MySQL server. This is done on the third tab on the configuration screen when using the "Configure PhpMyAdmin" link from the installed add-ons list.
Lastly on the ReadyNAS MySQL is configured to not use any TCP/IP connections at all. Thus you have to communicate with the server using a socket connection. Unfortunately the socket on the ReadyNAS is not in the standard location /tmp/mysqld.sock but rather in /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock. Thus you have to tell PhpMyAdmin the location of the socket on the first tab of the server config screen of PhpMyAdmin.
