 * Hi,
 * I have built a site locally with Xampp and am having problems uploading it to
   my host server. My host has recommended that I generate a SQL backup on xampp
   so that I can then upload it to my hosted website. Right now, when I click on
   my phpmyadmin, it cannot log in to mysql server. So, I cannot access mysql even
   though it is running. Can anyone help me?

 * if its prompting you for a username its usually root and leave the password blank
   unless you specified a password then use that when setting up phpmyadmin.
 * or take a look at [this advice](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2703996/how-to-find-out-the-username-and-password-for-mysql-database)
