Fresh Wamp installation: unable to access phpmyadmin & mysql - mysql

I am using Windows 8.1, installed the 64-bit Wamp server and unable to access phpmyadmin and mysql. The first error message I got when browsing to phpmyadmin was
#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: NO)
then I changed my password in config.inc.php and received the following
#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
then I changed $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] to http and that did not work either. I tried to access the mysql console, was asked for a password again and nothing happened. So why do they make it so hard? I remember I had no such issue with xampp.

MySQL Error: "Access Denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: YES)" upon Windows 10 PC Restart

I installed MySQL 5.5 and provided a password for user 'root'. I can access it using MySQL Workbench. The OS that I am using is Windows 10 Home. Upon restart I am receiving an error:
Cannot Connect to Database Server
Your connection attempt failed for user 'root' from your host to server at localhost:3306:
Access defined for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
and have some errors in my Web Applications such as Wordpress:
Error Establishing a Database Connection.
Is there a way to access the database and prevent this from happening again. Thank you in advance!

Access denied to MySQL when WAMP is not on

When I try to start MySQL via the commandline
shell> mysql
when WAMP is not on (not offline, but simply not starting WAMP at all), I am able to access MySQL:
ERROR 1045 (28000) Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
I have the user and password set in a my.ini file. It works when I turn WAMP on, but doesn't when I exit WAMP. Why is this, and how can I fix it?
I'm guessing that starting up WAMP somehow grants privelegs to 'root'#'localhost'?
