I just installed xampp-win32-1.8.3-3-VC11 but I cannot change the root password. I enter my password twice and click the password changing button and the message "The root password was successfully changed. Please restart MYSQL for loading these changes!" but when I stop and start MySQL in the XAMPP control panel and then click admin I am logged into myphpadmin without being asked for a password and the security section of localhost/xampp says no password has been set.
I've installed XAMPP many times before on many computers but this is the first time this has happened.
Any ideas?
