WordPress Installation

First thing that comes to mind, is that you haven’t set up an actual database to link the wordpress to so please follow this steps:

navigate in your browser to http://localhost/phpmyadmin (I hope it is installed)

Create a database with the name wordpress (or whatever else you want)

Navigate to your wordpress directory on localhost and re-enter the database details with root as the database username and ‘wordpress’ as the database name, fresh installs of wamp do not have a password set so leave that field blank.

I hope this get’s you at least on the right track.
