I just ran into this problem myself after I installed XAMPP for APACHE. I decided to use it for a localhost of MySQL too. Here's what I did to get it to work.

In windows, open command prompt, type: netstat -ano|find "3306"

The PID LISTENING was 4608. Opened Task Manager, went to Details tab. Found the PID, it was a mysql.exe from another application. Right click the application and select End Task.

Restart XAMPP.

I don't recommend changing the Port Number just because 3306 is a Standard assigned port to MySQL as well as 33060, 33061, and 33062. In a few cases, I have seen Port 22 assigned. There is a protocol set up for this and when to use which one.
