I recently install XAMPP on my PC, I've never touched any of the setting yet, but when I try to get to phpMyAdmin, it returns;
Error
MySQL said:
#1045 – Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.
phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.
So yeah, :/
I haven't touched any of the settings so I don't know why it keeps coming up with this, I've researched and all the most common reasons are from people fiddling with config.inc.php, hmm :/
PLEASE RESPOND ASAP!!
the password was never set by me or anyone, I just downloaded it and started using apache, that's it...
he only thing I did related to phpMyAdmin was ticking a box to install it, so it's a bit confuzzling
I haven't set any passwords, all I did was press install, for everything including apache.
It says default password is "" ( no password )...?
