Hello webmasters,

I have been unable to access "localhost/phpmyadmin" even though I have successfully installed joomla using xampp. It says
"my sql said:
cannot connect:invalid setting"

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"

Above is the erroe report.

I have access to cplane "localhost/anukulapo/administrator/index.php" on joomal platform

I hope someone can help with this ASAP.

Thanks.
