Ok, I can understand your frustration as I just went through the same thing. I finally found it and made the changes and it works fine. So, here is what I did, and as a "newbie", if you don't wish to try I will understand. There are people on this forum who have all the answers.
I went to: C:\wamp\phpmyadmin\config.inc and opened the file in Jedit, you can use notepad. Search for: $cfg
