mysql said: Cannot connect: invalid settings. xampp

Question

I changed the root password to test and now I cannot login in phpMyAdmin page in XAMPP. I looked for help here and here which basically says changed config.inc.php

Answer 1

I made changes to the config file for Laravel and completely forgot the changes. After applying everything from this thread, I had no success.

I simply overwrote the config.inc file from another xampp installation and it worked fine.
