In the security panel for MySQL it says:
The MySQL admin user root has no longer no password
It also says that mysql is secure. Hmmm.
How can I fix this?
To be honest and for pure ease, if this is the first time you have installed xampp and have not made any changes to anything, just uninstall and re-install.

then you have to edit phpmyadmin/config.inc.php
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type']= 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'YourNewPW';
