Now, change the authentication "config" to "cookie" which will shows the Login windows everytime a user connects to phpMyAdmin (setpw9b.jpg)

Option: If you don't use phpMyAdmin so often, you should perform this extra step which has a benefit to open config.inc.php to retrieve forgotten password; otherwise, skip this step for more security, especially if your computer has more than one user

Step 12 is to scroll down and find this codes (setpw10a.jpg)

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = ''; // MySQL password (only needed

Then, input between single quote the password that input in phpMyAdmin

Now is the time to save all open files, close all open browsers, restart wamp server by right click on wamp tray icon to access Secondary Menu and select Exit (setpw11.jpg)

After wamp restart, left click on wamp tray icon to access Main Menu and select phpMyAdmin to pop up the Login page for phpMyAdmin, which you can login with user "root" and the password you just setup (setpw12a.jpg)

After login, you might see warning message "Cannot load mcrypt extension..." (setpw12b.jpg); then, left click on wamp tray icon and select PHP, then PHP Extensions, then scroll down to click on php_mcrypt.

Note: If using WAMP 2b/2c, after logging into phpMyAdmin, repeat step 1 to step 5 to set password for each and all other user "root"
