mysql said Cannot connect invalid settings xampp

Question

I changed the root password to test and now I cannot log in to the phpMyAdmin page in XAMPP.

I did some research and found that the issue is changed config.inc.php file in XAMPP\PHPMYADMIN folder.

/* Authentication type and info */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] = false;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'test';    <---- changed this
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysql';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true;

/* User for advanced features */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = 'pma';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = 'test'; <--- I changed this too (Edit: Not needed)

This code below works which uses the above password

if($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']=="127.0.0.1")
{
define("DATABASE_SERVER", "localhost");
define("DATABASE_USERNAME", "root");
define("DATABASE_PASSWORD", "test");
define("DATABASE_NAME", "TIGERWOODS");
} 

Is there a way to solve this?
