Possible PhPAdmin conflict with installed MySQL?

I completed a course recently using a textbook that covered Dreamweaver's use with Coldfusion, ASP, and Php. The actual course only covered the Coldfusion section. As part of the coldfusion exercises, I installed mySQL 5.1.39 using a generic username and password.


I decided last month to go back through the book and cover the PhP sections. I've installed WAMP 2.0 on the same machine. (I also installed WAMP on a new computer where I hadn't installed mySQL yet, so I've identified the problem.) When I try to start phpAdmin I get thess "Access denied for user 'root@hocalhost' (using password : NO) with additional comments to check the username password configuration. But I can't find where to configure this in WAMP. Can anyone assist?


PhPAdmin launches just fine on the computer I haven't previously installed mySQL.


Thanks in advance,

W
