＃1045无法登录MySQL服务器

Question

I installed Apache, MySQL, PHP, and phpmyadmin, and I did everything needed to make the localhost/phpmyadmin webpage work correctly, with the two user inputs, I remember making my password and username 'root', when I try to log in, I get the error in the title. I've have been searching for an hour for a solution, but nothing has worked for me, please someone help, this is so frustrating! Thanks in advance

PS. I also installed 'xampp' to start and stop mysql server (that's all I know how to use it for)

Answer 1

I assume you have not been able to put any valid data into your MySQL database. Therefore you should definitely remove Apache, MySQL, PHP, and phpmyadmin, plus XAMPP; then restart your machine and install just XAMPP.

Getting all the necessary parts working together is tricky, that's why there are packages like XAMPP that do the work for you.
