OK lets start with which version of WAMPServer you installed. Also add the contents of your HOSTS file to your question i.e. `c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts` — RiggsFolly, Sep 22 '15 at 10:10

if you previously install WAMP and reinstalled it the it might be due to WAMP configurations. you need to set WAMP server configuration. to do so

Change the file content of c:\wamp\alias\phpmyadmin.conf to the following.

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

Here my WAMP installation is in the c:\wamp folder. Change it according to your installation.

Previously, it was like this:

<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>

Restart your Apache server after making these changes.

OR

if you're accessing it via Routed-IP address then you MUST put you're WAMP online. to do so:

Right Click Your WAMP icon and put online. then restart WAMP
