In this guide for WAMP, we will show you how to install and setup password for WAMPSERVER. There are too many ways to setup password, but here I only show the easiest but security way for WAMP
Note: Before attempting any change, even the first time password setup, you should perform a full backup; check the Setup Backup guide for WAMP on this website.
To setup password, left click on wamp tray icon to pop up the Main Menu and select phpMyAdmin (setpw1.jpg)
In phpMyAdmin windows, if this is the first time password setup, you will see the warning that MySQL has default user "root" with no password, and that's what we try to correct here by selecting Privileges (setpw2.jpg)
In the next windows, you should have user "root", host is "localhost" and password is "no"; click on the icon in the end of the line to edit privilege for user "root" (setpw3.jpg)
Note: If using WAMP 2b/2c, you will have more than one user "root", do not panic, and keep follow this guide until the end and you will see the section for WAMP 2b/2c
In the next windows, scroll down to section Change Password to input your desire password twice, then click Go right under that table (setpw4.jpg)
After click Go, you will get the windows with confirmation message that MySQL just set the password for user "root" (setpw5.jpg)
