Easy.
Open phpMyAdmin from your WAMP icon.
Click on [Privileges].
Click the "Edit" Icon for Root (far right end - pencil icon)
Scroll down to "Change Password"
Enter your desired Root password
Click in the [GO] box.
Your Root access for MySQL is now passworded.
Note that now phpMyAdmin does not know how to access your MySQL server.
Go to c:\wamp\myphpadmin\
Open config.inc
Find the line $cfg['Servers']['$i']['Password'] = ''
Enter your Root Password in between the last two quotes.
You should now have $cfg['Servers']['$i']['Password'] = 'yourpassword'
Save the config.inc file.
Now phpMyAdmin should let you back in to MySQL
