after installation i started wamp and i was asked for user and pass which were already set on default (user:admin pass: dots), and that was wrong with a message from your topic. Than, i just entered:

Username: root 
Password: (leave it empty)

and it worked for me!!

I had the same error today  I had installed Djangostack and when I checked my task manager there were two instances of mysqld running  I checked one was for wamp server and the other was for django stack  I ended the one for django stack  restarted all services in wamp server and I was able to access phpmyadmin

This process is quite simple in correcting the the error  What is happening is a failure to connect to phpMyAdmin  In order to fix the problem you simply need to provide the correct password to the system phpMyAdmin configuration file located in apps phpMyadmin config ini php 1  the root should already be set as user 2  Insert the password between     and that it   If you still have problems then this means that the user name and  or the password need to be updated or inserted into the DB  to do this use the command line tool and do an update   UPDATE mysql user SET Password PASSWORD  Johnny59 or whatever you want to use   WHERE User  root
