 * Hi,
 * I’ve gone through this process before, but I only experimented with WordPress
   for a little while. Now I’m stuck again.
 * Here’s what I’ve got:
    Wamp Server is installed I’ve created a database called
   WordPress I’ve copied the WordPress files into the Wamp directory I’ve changed
   the configuration file within the Wamp directory..-I got rid of the password 
   and made another change which I don’t remember.
 * I still am unable to log into the WordPress admin page. I don’t really understand
   what I am doing. I am just trying to follow YouTube videos. Can someone point
   me in the right direction?
 * Thanks again. I truly appreciate all of the help

 * The Codex has a highly detailed procedure that I would be inclined to trust more
   than anything on YouTube. Have a look here:

 * Hope that it helps!

 * Thanks for the suggestion. I went through the tutorials. It looks like I have
   done everything I am supposed to but, I am still stuck. When I try to install
   WordPress by going to this address localhost/wordpress/wp-admin Internet Explorer
   tell me the page cannot be displayed.
 * I’m sure it is a small mistake that is causing my problem.

 * A generic suggestion that works for this kind of problem on any web server: use
   FTP to create a test.txt file in the same place where you installed WordPress,
   and try to access it via the web browser.
 * In your case, wherever you installed the /wordpress/ folder. Wait a minute. You
   nowhere talk about having a folder called /wordpress/ on your WAMP directory.
   If you installed it in the “root” then use [http://localhost/wp-admin](http://localhost/wp-admin)
 * Finally, be sure that WAMP is using Port 80.
