Some one help. Mysql connection failed,

• #1130 Cannot login to the mysql server

Connection for control user as defined in configuration failed

what do I need to do?

Tell us more. What did you try to do?

By default, the phpmyadmin UI should allow you to login to your mysql instance. Did you change/delete the username or password? Are you trying to use a username / password combination that is not in the database that you think should be? The default user is root with no password.

Tell us more, what did you try to do?

It happens at a first time, unable to login to phpmyadmin, I did not know anything to do. I uninstall xampp after some hour I reinstalled it again. I said to to myself that will not setup a password to avoid password error and unable to login. When I was creating a database and table, My code always return error somethings like this: "access denied, unable to connect to mysql" I was finding a help anywhere, I read some instructions that I did not understand, After carrying out some setting and configurations. I was unable to login to phpmyadmin.

I keep on getting the same error.

Tried changing aspects of the config.inc.php file but no combinations worked.

I have not specified a username or password, but the default 'root' and no password options are not working. I don't understand why it isn't working as I haven't specified a username and password myself and it's not clear how I would change these. I haven't even created a database yet so I don't understand what's going on - it was a fresh install (I deleted and currently in the process of re-downloading)
