Open
phpMyAdmin from the menu in
http://localhost/xampp
After entering your
root credentials for entry to
phpMyAdmin, click on the
Privileges menu item.
Look for the
User you want to be able to give remote access to (
Important - not root and not pma users - these are for localhost use only).
Under the
Host column, the
User needs the
% added where the
localhost is.
Click on the little
Edit Privileges icon at the end of the
User row.
Go to the section headed
Change Login Information / Copy User
Spot the
Host drop menu and click on
Any Host and the
% will be added automagically.
Click on
Go bottom right.
Done.
Check the User again in the Privileges section to be sure your edits have been accepted.
BTW
root user and the
pma user are for
localhost only.
You will have to create a
User with a
strong password if you don't have one already and give that
User Privileges for your
Database and then give that
User Any Host access.
Here is a recent post on how to create a new user for WordPress but the same method applies to creating a user generally.
