title: Connecting to mysql in xampp without password
body: <p>I want to configure the mysql xampp password to no password. I opened the my.ini and I saw the following line:</p>
  
  <pre><code># password       = password
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I I don't use password what should I type?</p>
  
  <p>And that's the error I get when I try to connect to mysql through php:</p>
  
  <pre><code> mysqli_connect(): (HY000/1045): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using     
  password: YES) in C:\xampp\htdocs\spikes\functions.php on line 53
