How do i enable username/password authentication in WAMP

[2939195631902]

I've just reinstalled my WAMP on my computer and i forgot how to enable authentication.

I already used mysql console to create the password. Now, every time i restart mysql console, it will ask me for password, which makes sense. However, when i try to go to "phpmyadmin" in the"localhost", it gives me a error message:


Error

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

What used to happen before i reinstalled WAMP was that the page shows me two fields: username and password. Now, it doesn't. It just gives me that error.

Anyone know how to fix this?

This is a phpMyAdmin question and probably isn't specifically related to WAMP. A quick google turned up this, which mentions setting the phpMyAdmin password:

I've only used phpMyAdmin a few times, so I'm no expert, but thought this might point you in the right direction.
