I found my own answer. Steps that I followed to solve this error in XAMPP are:
"C:\xampp\phpMyAdmin"
"config.inc.php"
/* Authentication type and info */ $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true; $cfg['Lang'] = '';
Provide your password here at the line:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'myPassword';
Restart the XAMPP services.
Your Problem will be solved
