Upon updating my XAMPP I was greeted with this error when trying to access phpMyAdmin:

CODE
Welcome to phpMyAdmin 2.11.7

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.
Error

MySQL said: Documentation
#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)


My XAMPP status is currently:

CODE
Component    
Status    
Hint    
    MySQL database     DEACTIVATED         
    PHP     ACTIVATED         
    HTTPS (SSL)     ACTIVATED         
    Common Gateway Interface (CGI)     ACTIVATED         
    Server Side Includes (SSI)     ACTIVATED         
    SMTP Service     DEACTIVATED         
    FTP Service     DEACTIVATED     


Can anybody help please? Its been like this for a few days now and I'm starting to get worried. Thanking you in advance.

I've managed to log into phpMyAdmin but now I've lost all privileges for the root superuser... I can't do anything to any of my tables now.
