Courses Plus Student 304 PointsError establishing a database connection wordpress
This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can't contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host's database server is down. What Is the Probleme Please !!

Also, depending on which server stack you are using, you may or may not have a server password. Check the documentation for you stack to make sure you are using the correct default password for your Database.

31,709 PointsAccording to a google search XAMP's DB doesn't have a default password. You should be able to leave the password field in the WP setup blank. The ROOT username for the DB is "root".
