Generating Password For XAMPP Localhost

Make a new user wherein you can be able to log in. And after logging in, try to logout and go to the database. Search for the newly added user. Log in again on Drupal. You can use the password listed on the database but since it is protected and can't be viewed, you will need to convert it to MD5 file.

Generating Password For XAMPP Localhost

Hello Jazmine,

The following is the procedure you will need to use to generate the password for Xampp localhost:

• You will need to enter http://localhost/phpmyadmin into your browser’s URL field, and then press enter. This will bring you to the phpmyadmin main page.
• After that you will click on the Privileges tab.
• And then click on the icon in the Action column.
• After that, you will need to scroll down to the password section.
• And then enter a password and retype it to confirm it. Click on Go to accept it.

Note that the password you enter should be composed of basic ASCII characters (‘a’..’z’, ‘A’..’Z’, and “0’..’9’). When you try to use other  ASCII characters you will end up with errors.

Regards,

Carl
