I just installed WAMP and it's awesome. Thanks for making PHP access so easy.
I am trying to install Wordpress, but when I unzip it in www and try to open it, it comes back with "Error establishing database connection"
Upon further investigation, I realized I needed to update a config file for Wordpress including my MySQL username and password.

How can I find out what my MySQL username and password are?

Thanks and sorry I'm a stupid newb. \=)

Try this, from this site: [www.kidslovepc.com]

* Open DOS console window, go to c:\mysql\bin. //replace with your mysql directory
* Type: mysql -u root, press Enter.
* Under prompt mysql>

SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('passwd');
Note, you need put your real password instead of passwd

* After you change the password for root, you need change config.inc.php in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\phpadmin. //again, replace with your phpmyadmin directory

Open config.inc.php in your desired editor, find: $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';

insert your password in the above ''. Save your config.inc.php.
