Troubles with Database Setup

[sam-vital]

Hi,

I'm trying to setup up ProceesWire for a site I am working on, and I'm having troubles with the Database section.

I get these errors :

Database connection information did not work.

 SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user

I also cannot connect to phpMyAdmin, Xampp is what I am using as my stack.

None of these errors have occurred before which is annoying me to say the least.

Help is appreciated ?

Are you using the default installation of Xampp or have you set a new SQL password?

Are you using the xampp root user?

 

The message actually only says that the logon data is incorrect, or the user has no rights to access the database.
