I have tried google and it still have some problem by trying this:

Step 1: you must turn off the xampp application.
step 2: the you the link "xampp \ mysql \ bin" folder and click on the "my.ini"
Step 3: Next to repair:

# Password = your_password
port = 3306 becomes 3307
socket = "C: /xampp/mysql/mysql.sock"

and

# The MySQL server
[Mysqld]
port = 3306 becomes 3307
socket = "C: /xampp/mysql/mysql.sock"

-------------------------------------------

I already try several other things that does not works well.

I need some other suggestion to fix this problem.

This is how you reset and change the XAMPP MySQL password.

Save the 2 files below to a directory.

mysql-init.txt

Code:

UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('Your-New-Password') WHERE User='root';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Edit this file and add your User and Password.

Then

Copy this file to: C:\xampp\mysql\mysql-init


mysql-start.txt

Code:

C:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqld --init-file=C:\xampp\mysql\mysql-init.txt

Run mysql-start.txt from a Windows Command prompt.

NOTE:

If that will not work you may need to do the below.

In case if you have Xampp installed.

1) Goto C:\xampp\mysql\bin
2) Open my.ini file
3) Put skip-grant-tables under [mysqld]
4) Goto windows services and stop mysql service

Trigger this command from command prompt C:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysql
Now, reset the root password with the MySQL query update mysql.user set password=PASSWORD('Password') where user='root';
Exit the command prompt.
Restart the mysql windows service that was turned off in step 4.
Now you will be able to login to mysql using password as root.

C:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysql \g update mysql.user set password=PASSWORD('Password') where user='root';

No offence, but the xampp forum is the place to go, this has nothing to do with CI

I dont mind helping people on CI but I think your are in the wrong place for this questions.

On the package it said needs Windows 7 or better. So I installed Linux.

Hello,

I don't think my xampp works well.  I use another alternative like:  Ampps


Ampps/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php

PHP Code:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['verbose'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'http';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = file_get_contents('../ampps/data/my.conf');
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['hide_db'] = '(mysql|information_schema|performance_schema)';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true; 


The result:

http://localhost/phpmyadmin/
