Fix Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' for phpMyAdmin
Find config.inc
file under C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin3.5.1
Inside this file find
this one line
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] =";
and replace it with
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'Type your root password here';
I had the same problem after i had changed the passwords in the database.. what i did was the editing of the updated password i had changed earlier and i didn't update in the config.inc.php and the same username under D:\xamp\phpMyAdmin\config.inc
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = **'root'**;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = **'epufhy**';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true;
$cfg['Lang'] = '';
