I am trying to access phpmyadmin on wamp, but it is showing me 

Forbidden--You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin/ on this server.

I am new to Web Programming please help.

How can I fix this problem?

Can you post your apache configuration (or at least the modifications)? – Khaled Oct 6 '12 at 13:44
This could be anything. Improve your question with permissions, configuration files. – sonassi Oct 6 '12 at 14:42

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

Sounds like either an Alias from the phpmyadmin URL to the phpmyadmin folder path has not been set up, or the phpmyadmin folder path (directory) does not have any permissions set on it in Apache's configuration.

Which WAMP are you using, and have you made and configuration changes to it?

You might want to concider re-installing it or using another one.

There is a big list here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_WAMPs

Some popular ones are xampp, WampServer, Wamp Developer (commercial), BitNami, AMPPS.
