I have searched in internet and stackexchange nothing worked for me. That's why I have created the same question again.

Errors: 1. MySQL said:
Cannot connect: invalid settings.

Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.
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.

Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed

Under my Xampp server MySQL started

Help me to login in to my phpmyadmin and solve this problem. Thank in advance

Was this one of the things you tried... I've never had this issue so this is just for your reference to try. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11506224/connection-for-controluser-as-defined-in-your-configuration-failed-with-phpmya – TimBrownlaw Oct 23 '16 at 07:17
@TimBrownlaw Nothing is working. I can't able to access or login in to my phpmyadmin. But my MySQL server is up and running. – G Naga Subrahmanyam Oct 23 '16 at 08:01
@felixsturm yes my MySQL port number is 3308 – G Naga Subrahmanyam Oct 23 '16 at 08:05
Under your XAMPP Control Panel, is mysql started? – TimBrownlaw Oct 23 '16 at 08:05
@TimBrownlaw Updated my Question. – G Naga Subrahmanyam Oct 23 '16 at 10:23
Is this a brand new installation? – TimBrownlaw Oct 23 '16 at 10:32
