phpmyadmin stopped working after installing wamp server 2

Question

hi had a working phpmyadmin which stopped working when i installed a new version of wamp 2 for windows 32bit.

Now i have mysqlBuddy appearing in my localhost homepage and it mysqlBuddy works but when i click on phpmyadmin it doesn't work. The error i am getting is Access Denied . please read below error.

i have checked the config.inc.php file which is under the phpmyadmin folder to see the config settings and they are all ok

/* Server: localhost [1] */
$i++;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['verbose'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true;

i do not know how else i can fix this. ?

Just to cover all bases - Have you tried restarting WAMP server after changing PHPMyAdmin's configuration?

If you still cannot connect, try resetting your MySQL root password by following the instructions here .
