Accessing MySQL database on remote server (1 reply)

Hi
I'm new to WAMP so this may be very easy
I've installed WAMP on a new PC. On my previous PC I had a similar, but manually set, system - Apache, Mysql, PHP and using phpMyAdmin

on my old PC I could access the MySQL database on my live server using phpMyAdmin- hosted outside my office
on my new PC using the phpMyAdmin supplied with WAMP I can't
I've copied over the phpMyAdmin from my old PC and I can access my server with that

The error I'm getting from the WAMP supplied phpMyAdmin is

mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/1045): Access denied for user 'root'@'xxxxx' (using password: YES)

I've tried copying the config file from the old phpMyAdmin to the new one and that still isn'y working

the only difference that I can see is the version - the old one is 4.10.0-english

Any ideas please. Thanks
