Here is the solution for Windows machine: When you changed the root passord to let's say admin and now when you access http://localhost/phpmyadmin you see following screen

Open XAMPP_SETUP/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php file change config to cookie and add the password. And again access the http://localhost/phpmyadmin !!
