Hi guys, here is the short story:
I installed wampserver on a windows machine successfully. Using firefox, I launched phpmyadmin. At previliges tab, I set a password for the root. Then I made changes to the config.inc.php file in the following way:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookies';
$cfg['blowfish_secret']='fjo28jo23j8fd3o8udejo8';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';
deleted this entry:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPasswordRoot'] = true;
...and saved the file.

I was able to log into phpmyadmin root with this password. After a reboot, I am not able to log into root user with the same password I had set. Access is being denied. I had written the password down, but the same is not working.

Can anyone help?

It is a better idea to create an account for a particular type of user! Using the root account can cause you sorts of problems. Have you tried "Root" without a password?
