running phpmyadmin using wamp server

[sudhakararaog]

 

i have installed wamp on my computer and when i access phpmyadmin i get the following error

 

#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

 

i already have xampp installed on my computer, i want to learn smarty templates so i am using wamp for the sake of learning smarty, i do not want to install smarty on xampp as it is already configured with other settings so i would like to use wamp

 

i am using windows xp service pack 2

 

i have chaned the port to 81 in the httpd.conf configuration file of wamp and changed server name to localhost:81 so i access wamp as

http://localhost:81 this works fine, from this page when i click on phpmyadmin link i get the error

 

#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

 

i have followed the steps from the following links

i have tried stopping all services and restarted wamp service  however i am not able to access phpmyadmin but i am able to access wamp as

http://localhost:81 and any files i create in the wamp/www folder

 

please advice.

 

thanks
