Answer 1

reset your mysql password on xampp security page. restart your mysql service and then access the phpmyadmin page using your password. i tried it. this is working fine for me.

Answer 2

I'm afraid there's a conflict with the port number(80). Make sure you don't run some software like Skype that use the same port 80
