Setting password for MySQL from WAMP?

[Abel MacAdam]

Hi,

A few months back I installed WAMP (one big installation of Apache, MySQL and PHP for Windows). The last week I'm busy with Portal development. As a result I'm trying to install Jetspeed-2. The installer of Jetspeed asked what Database I would like to use. As I installed WAMP I thought it wiser to stick to MySQL. When I started phpMyAdmin I saw the following message:
"Your configuration file contains settings (root with no password) that correspond to the default MySQL privileged account."

As it is some time since I installed WAMP I cannot remember what I need to do. I searched the install directory and found that the word password is contained in several .ini files (my-huge.ini, my-innodb-heavy-4G.ini, my-large.ini, my-medium.inim and my-small.ini, but not in my.ini). The format of the line is:
#password = your_password

I take it I need to remove the # at the start of the line, replace 'your_password' with a password of my choosing? But in what ini file? How does WAMP know what ini file to choose? In the same directory as the ini files I see a wampserver.conf file. In it there is an entry:
$mysqlConf['mysqlConfFile'] = 'my.ini';
Does this entry make WAMP to choose for my.ini?

I plan to use the WAMP/MySQL installation purely for development purposes.
