XAMPP and MySql error #1045

I just downloaded XAMPP but am getting the error below when I try to acces phpMyAdmin.

MySQL said:
#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.
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.


Previously, I tried to install MySQL, PHP, Apache separately, and followed some tutorial that set a password. I assumed deleting the files would reset MySQL, but that isn’t working, it seems to have retained the original password.

I’m new at this, so sorry if this is vague. Through XAMPP, I can’t even find the original config file that I modified. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
