I'm in the self taught process.  :P

I understand what you're saying, but I still call it solving. People over at the phpmyadmin site told me that wamp was having some vista issues & for me to switch to xampp. What would of you have suggested? (rajivgonsalves's suggestion was helpful, but did not work for me)

I actually solved this by just using xampp instead of wamp & everything is working fine now.

I have these settings in that file, $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] = false; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'my password'; Are all of these correct? I am very positive that I am putting the correct password, yet when i try & access phpmyadmin, I am getting the same error that i have gotten when i first opened it: " MySQL said: Documentation #1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)" btw- i really appreciate all your help.

How do I do that? :-\

First off, Hello! Im new to both php & this site. I'm having problems with phpmyadmin. This is exactly what i had done: -I have the latest wamp installed. -in phpmyadmin folder I created the folder "config" (the folder is set to both read & write) -In the scripts/setup, i added a new server. I kept it with localhost, didn't change anything... only added my password i had set for root. I clicked Add. What I'm trying to do is save my configurations, but in the configurations section both the save & load buttons are greyed out. ??? Please help, & I thank you for your time.
