password problem with phpmyadmin

[CyberShot]

I just set up wamp on my computer. I had phpmyadmin working. At the bottom of the screen it said that there was no password for the root user. I clicked on the privelages tab clicked edit next to root user and there was a password box there. I typed in a password, retyped the password in the second box and restarted wamp. Now when I go to phpmyadmin I get this error

 

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

 

So I then navigated to wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.3.9/config.inc.php and I found on line 16

 

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = ' ';

 

so I typed my password in there and restarted wamp but I still get the error. What is missing?

Can you login to MySQL as the root user, using that password?

It seems to be working now. I think shutting down my computer fixed it somehow. Don't ask me how.
