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 also had that problem and i did what hairul said:

1. Go to localhost/security/
2. Click the orange link localhost/security/xamppsecurity.php
3. Change the password for superuser: 'root'"

then i restarted mysql on the xampp control panel and didn t work.

It only worked when i restarted my computer!!!!
