Database error - El Forum - 07-31-2010

Hello,
I've seen this error lots of times, but I can't find my solution.
I've installed WAMP and CI. When I try to connect to my mysql database on my WAMP, I get this error:
A Database Error Occurred
Unable to connect to your database server using the provided settings.
When I've got WAMP on my local pc, what do I need to fill in in my database.php?

Code:
<?php
$db_server = "localhost";
$db_user = "root";
$db_passwort = "";
$db = mysql_connect($db_server,$db_user,$db_passwort);
if($db) { echo "that works"; }
else { echo "what have i done before ?"; }
?>is that a help?

I get an access denied. Hoe can I see which user I need to use? When I go to my phpmyadmin, I don't need to insert a user.
Don't you also need a db in the above example?

Sorry, I didn't read very well. I needed to use the user root.
Thanks for your help.
