Why don't you either add in a password for root (you should have a mysql client installed under windows) or change the flag within the PHPMyAdmin configuration to allow empty passwords (search for $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] in your config.inc.php) Note that the second option may or may not be available in your version of PHPMyAdmin and it's very ill advised to run an empty root password as it means there is absolutely no authentication on the database - any one (or any program) that can access your computer can do anything it likes to MySQL. Disclaimer: I don't run WAMP, so my experience here is purely with running PHPMyAdmin ...
