You have .env file in your project root folder. There you can edit:

 DB_CONNECTION=mysql
 DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
 DB_PORT=3306
 DB_DATABASE=database_name
 DB_USERNAME=root
 DB_PASSWORD=

By default, XAMPP root username is root, there is no password and port is 3306. Obviously, you have to start MySQL in XAMPP control panel.
