    Try to READ what log says.
    It is wrong pass to mysql - you got typo in either mangos.conf or mysql. If I remember you could change mysql pass by the xampp web interface - have you done it?

    First: don't make double post.
    Second - did you set up pass FOR mysql correctly? I mean not in server config file but in MySQL itself? Because if you set pass in server config only, without setting it in xampp it will not work.

    Re: [Help]error when starting

    id suggest installing MySQL software and assigning a password, 1 for the simple fact of security, and make sure u install it and all its components correctly, there is a guide on here somewhere, i suggest u try that.
