Thread:Project:Support desk/For *computer-novices*: Access denied for user 'user'@'localhost' (using password: YES)/reply (6)

Thanks for the recommendation. I tried that, too, and the attempt failed. I am getting truly desperate and the only thing I can think to do now is to uninstall and reinstall the XAMPP control panel. I am looking at your second message about the sufficient permission and am trying really hard to think it through, looking around for clues. Yes, I am using a hosting company, have uploaded it to a server, and have been given the password and username. So, is there likely a tree of user names and passwords? Good grief.
