I'm using XAMPP and the only way I can enter phpMyAdmin is without a Password and with a made up username. I've forgot my real credentials because I hadn't used XAMPP for a while.
If I try to enter with the username: root it doesn't work.
Upon entering phpMyAdmin I have no privileges whatsoever and thus can't even create a new safe user\password combination.
I've tried many things and don't know what else to do. Can you please help?

You're technically resetting the password of MySQL, not phpMyAdmin (as phpMyAdmin is just an interface to access MySQL). I don't use XAMPP so don't promise this won't inadvertently break something else along the way (thought I can't imagine what would depend on having the root password), but there are many pages with suggestions. If your phpMyAdmin auth_type is config, you'll also need to put the new password in the configuration file; otherwise just type the new password when you log in.

Please open config.inc.php in phpmyadmin folder with your code editor and you can find your username and password there
