This might sound really stupid and simple but im brand new to SQL databases.

Ive opened up the phpMyAdmin main page and it gives me the warning at the bottom


Your configuration file contains settings (root with no password) that correspond to the default MySQL privileged account. Your MySQL server is running with this default, is open to intrusion, and you really should fix this security hole.

I obviously dont want the standard username and password but I cant find an option anywhere on any of the pages for changing it... I have my servers username and password but cant find where to enter it..

Please help!!

If you're just using WAMP for local testing, than the MySQL password really shouldn't have much consequence.

In any case, you can create new users via the Privileges link on the phpmyadmin homepage.
