The WAMP2 download and install was a breeze -- 20-30 minutes max. Problem free, too. Count me in as a big WAMPS fan.
However, I'm stymied with WAMPS' reco right after installation to "first change MySQL' root default password. You can do it threw PHPmyadmin" (from "How to install"
. I've been going over \wamp\phpmyadmin\Documentation.html for an hour or more and, so far, haven't found guidance on how to change the password. Any suggestions? [*** LATER --> found the recommended WAMP5 Manual! -- see following messages]
I'm new to PHP/mysql. And, to password management (if there is such a thing).

I really, really appreciate your response.
Right after I posted my message, I did find your manual and got to:
"phpMyAdmin
Changing Your Root Users Password
Step 1: To change your root users password, we will be using phpMyAdmin to configure your users permissions table. So, make you have both Apache and MySQL up and running. Open your browser and type: [localhost] and you will be taken to the main phpMyAdmin home page."
I've been trying, first, to get beyond "1 of 2 servers running" and second, getting [localhost] to work (I only get a "Proxy Response" blank page?).
I'm not sure what to do next?

Thanks for responding!
Answer: Mysql server is running, Apache is not.
Question: If only the Mysql server is running, can I, if I want to, proceed with 'phpMyAdmin' to change my root User's password and get on with using WAMP to develop and test the INTERNAL aspects of php/Mysql programs?
On my laptop computer, I only need to be able to develop and test php/mysql programs INTERNALLY. The organization that I'm maintaining and enhancing PHP/Mysql programs for has a big IT center that has already implemented the EXTERNAL-server aspects of the beta programs. They are handling all the operatonal aspects. Therefore, it will be a good while before I might need EXTERNAL-server capabilities -- if ever!?

phpmyadmin is a web based php script that helps configure your mysql server, so it needs apache and mysql running to work.

Over a month ago, I was assigned a php/Mysql program to maintain and enhance at home on my laptop. So far, I have yet to test one line line of PHPMysql script because of installation and/or start-up problems. I'm at the point where I can't afford to keep trying and not being able to bill for my time. I need a different approach.
Is there someone out there I can PAY to walk me through this?
Bettter yet, if there's someone in the Maryland/Virginia area, I could bring my laptop by their place and watch them do it for the fee.
Any referrals would be welcome.

tell me what it says
"Your port 80 is actually used by:
"Server: Apache/2/2/4 <Win32> php/5.2.2"
Other readings:
WAMP icons:
1 - "1 of 2 services running -- server off line"
2 - "Running 1 of 2 Apache services"
Ctrl panel --> admin. tools --> services:
"Apache2......... Apache/2.2.4 (win32)"........... [Status column is blank]
"Mysql....... Mysql............ Running [Status column]"

Problem solved.
I had installed a variety of Apache, PHP and MySQL downloads in the weeks before I found Wamp5 resulting in more than one Apache server trying to use port 80.
With an invaluable assist from a Wamp-forum listener that responded to my weekend plea, I've now run my very first PHP test script:
PHP Script: "Test.php"
<html>
<body>
<?php print("Hello"; echo "Hello" ?>
</body>
</html>
Result "HelloHello"
Many thanks to the Wamp5 community.
