How do i get back to my previous mysql gui?

What does you mean with "previous mysql gui"?

I was using the MySQL's Graphical User Interface, the one package with the MySQL Essentials. i have a root user for it with a different password. when i use the phpmyadmin of xampp, i can't login already on the GUI abovementioned, only the xammp's mysql which is phpmyadmin. thanks

Well, phpMyAdmin is the same as one of the tools from the MySQL Essentials. It's a graphical client (tool) for the MySQL database server.

Such tools doesn't have an own user/password. They are using the users from the running MySQL server.

If the MySQL server from XAMPP is running, the default user is "root" without a password. This login data you must/can also use with the tools from the MySQL Essentials.

but i want to go back to my old mysql because my databases are there and i can't retreive it. How can i retreive it? would you kno? since i wasn't able to back up it. thanks a lot.

but i want to go back to my old mysql

If your old MySQL server is still installed, stop MySQL from XAMOO and start your old MySQL server.
