Two way to solve it

Open your database config file (laravel_root/config/database.php) & search for the below code block.

'host' => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
'database'  => env('DB_DATABASE', 'blog'),
'username'  => env('DB_USERNAME', 'root'),
'password'  => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),

Change the code block as below

'host'      => 'enteryourHostName',
'database'  => 'ebterYourDatabastName',
'username'  => 'enterYoutDatabaseUsername',
'password'  => 'enterYourDatabasePassword',

Second way (Recommended by Laravel)

Check your Laravel root there have a file call .env if not exist, look for .env.example, copy/rename it as .env after that the file looks blow !

APP_ENV=local
APP_DEBUG=true
APP_KEY=someRandomNumber

DB_HOST=localhost
DB_DATABASE=homestead
DB_USERNAME=homestead
DB_PASSWORD=secret

CACHE_DRIVER=file
SESSION_DRIVER=file
QUEUE_DRIVER=sync

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=2525
MAIL_USERNAME=null
MAIL_PASSWORD=null

Modify the below block as follow

DB_HOST=yourHostName
DB_DATABASE=yourDatabaseName
DB_USERNAME=yourDatabaseUsername
DB_PASSWORD=youPassword

This Works for me.
