How to log in to phpMyAdmin with WAMP, what is the username and password?

What does the word "root" mean in phpMyAdmin?

Whenever I write localhost/phpmyadmin on the address bar, I am asked to enter a username and a password, but I don't know what they are. I don't remember when and where I set them. From where can I get my username and password to login to phpMyAdmin?

Sometimes accessing php my admin from other servers such as UwAmp can create problems. If it navigates to a login page simply use

Username: root

Password: root

I installed Bitnami WAMP Stack 7.1.29-0 and it asked for a password during installation. In this case it was

username: root
password: <password set by you during install>

Sometimes it doesn't get login with username = root and password, then you can change the default settings or the reset settings.

Open config.inc.php file in the phpmyadmin folder

Instead of

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = false;

change it to:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true;

Do not specify any password and put the user name as it was before, which means root.

E.g. 

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';

This worked for me after i had edited my config.inc.php file.
