I am unable to connect to my MySQL in xampp I have this error:
MySQL said: Documentation
#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/1045): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.

Use the ALTER USER command and change the authentication method to log into MySQL as root: ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'insert_password'; This command changes the password for the user root and sets the authentication method to mysql_native_password.
To resolve the error, you must create a user with the following command: mysql> GRANT ALL ON *. * to user_name@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; Replace user_name with the user's username and password with the user's password.
Solution 1: Sudo then Change Password If you get the “access denied” error, one way to solve it is by using sudo to log in to mysql and change the root password. Step 1: Open the command line on your system. Step 3: Enter the password for this account.
found a solution, in my config file I just changed
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
to
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'HTTP';
/* Authentication type and info */ $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';<----your password
or
/* User for advanced features */ $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = 'pma'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = '';
to
/* User for advanced features */ $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = 'your user'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = 'your password';
