Ok, tried setting the root password to a non blank one via PHPMyAdmin, but can still not connect to it via PHP pages, and can now no longer connect to PHPMyAdmin either. Tried changing settings in various config.inc.php files, and tried uninstalling wampserver, cleaning out all files in c:\wamp, etc. etc., but still can't connect to PHPMyAdmin at all, although using MySQL-Front, I can again connect to database server using blank password again. I did manually stop services, and then try restart WampServer again, and just haven't been able to restart the machine as such since am busy with a rather slow download in the background, but anyway.
