Try setting a password for it using:
http://localhost/xampp
Select the
Security item in the menu.
Click on this link:
http://localhost/security/xamppsecurity.php
Set your
New Password here:
MYSQL SECTION: "ROOT" PASSWORD
(No need to enter your old password if you haven't set one already).
Check the
Cookie or
HTTP button as preferred (I choose to use a cookie as my preferred method).
f you are likely to forget your password then click the next entry.
You can always delete this after you are sure your passwords are remembered.
You can optionally create a user/pass for access to the XAMPP files on this page also.
Now your phpMyAdmin will be protected by a user/pass combo
user: root
pass: what you set
MySQL and
phpMyAdmin share the same user/pass combo.
Now go to
http://localhost/xampp again and select the
phpMyAdmin menu item and you will now be asked for your a user/pass.
Enter
root as the user and add the password you set and all should be secure now for you.

The
DeskTopXampp launch control for
XAMPP and
XAMPPlite (DTX.exe)
is available here:

I highly recommend DTX.
