I'm trying to install Mediawiki script but have one problem. I can't leave the password field blank, when I do so it shows me I must fill all fields. What can I do?

I changed it but now when I try to access in phpmyadmin I see this error:

Error

MySQL said: Documentation
#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

What can I do?
