How to get back Lost phpMyAdmin Password, XAMPP

I have a local host running on XAMPP on a Mac. At some point I set a password in phpMyAdmin which I've ow forgotten. Can anyone help me get back into phpMyAdmin? I've followed a ton of tutorials but they all either don't work or refer to some file that doesn't seem to be on my computer. Is there an easy way?

When I try to open:

http://localhost

I get:

The Server http://localhost:80 requires a username and password
Solution

  • Reinstalling the software fixes the issue, just make sure not to delete the htdocs folder in the process.
