Possible duplicate: WAMP error: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin/ on this server

Can you show us your /alias/phpmyadmin.conf file? It should have something along the lines of:

<Directory "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.4.5/">
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
  AllowOverride all
  Order Deny,Allow
  Deny from all
  Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>

See this post.

You can get your wamp back by following two steps:

Step 1: Set privileges to mysql

i. Open command prompt and navigate to mysql bin folder which is usually present in

"C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.1.36\bin"

Execute the below set of mysql commands with appropriate changes to set the new password

MYSQL -U root -P
UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('YourNewPassword') WHERE User='root';

Step 2: Configure the above set privileges to phpadmin/wamp

i. Locate "config.inc" file in the wamp folder, typically it is present in

"C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin3.2.0.1"

ii. Open it up using standard text editor such as notepad etc.
