What does the word "root" mean in phpMyAdmin?
Whenever I write localhost/phpmyadmin on the address bar, I am asked to enter a username and a password, but I don't know what they are. I don't remember when and where I set them. From where can I get my username and password to login to phpMyAdmin?

When starting phpMyAdmin, you will be asked for a user name and password. After installing Wampserver 3, the default username is "root" (without quotes) and there is no password, which means that you must leave the form Password box empty.
Near the top you'll see a section titled Hostnames for this MySQL server. Look for the hostname that corresponds to your website. It most likely has the website's name in it. To the right of the hostname is a link titled phpMyAdmin.
From the WAMP start page (http://localhost) under “Tools”, start phpMyAdmin (or find the WAMP icon in the notification area, left click to open and select phpMyAdmin).
In the MySQL console set a new password. To make that: mysqladmin -u root password 'your_password' In phpMyAdmin click in users and set the same password to the user root .
Try username = root and password is blank.
