if you ran a setup of some sorts odds are there was a prompt in the set up for a user/pw or there is a default for that load.

When MySQL is installed. A default user is setup called root no password is setup for that account. A password can be set for the root account via WAMP's control panel or by using phpMyAdmin.

how do you set it up in phpmyadmin

Go to phpmyadmin and select the Privileges link. Next in the table under the User Overview heading look fo the following row:

root  	localhost  	No  	 ALL PRIVILEGES   	Yes

To the right of that row click the Edit Privilages icon (small head with a pencil)

 

Now Scroll down and find the Change password sub heading and ensure the Password radio button is selected. Now enter a password in the fields provided. Once you have set the password select the Go button. phpMyAdmin may prompt for your username/password again after you have made the changes.
