Thanks all for the help. You are correct, the default root password is empty in the PHP 5.1.1 configuration file, I was able to get things working by doing the following:

1) Edit php.ini and populate 'mysql.default_password' with a password.
2) Open the MySQL console, for the 'Enter the password' prompt just hit enter.
Then execute:

SET PASSWORD FOR root@localhost=PASSWORD('whatever');
EXIT;

Replace 'whatever' with your password.

3) Edit C:\wamp\phpmyadmin\config.inc.php.

Enter the password in the '$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']' field.

4) Restart everything.

Thanks again all.
