Cannot continue without a datbase connection

[vsab]

in the command prompt, type:
mysql -ueq -peq eq

What happens?

I hit Start on XAMPP Control Panel next to MySQL so it's running. Then I hit shell to open the command prompt. I try it on a regular command prompt with the same result.

Either you didn't create a user called "eq" in mysql, or the password isn't "eq". Do you remember the password you used when you created the user?

The command epilz mentioned is good if you want to try to guess your password if not....

Failing that try to log in as root. Hopefully you remember that password
mysql -uroot -p
