I've never used XAMPP, but you should be able to login as 'root' with a blank password. I think XAMPP comes with phpmyadmin, which you can log into and create your users and such. I'm not sure where it's located, maybe try going to http://localhost and see if you've got any links to it on the default page they set you up with. Other than that, I log into mysql on my local machine(which is windows) by going into the command prompt and typing in:
mysql -u root

You should probably read the docs on XAMPP this is assuming you're running it on a windows machine.

wqell according to the xampp docs u cant create a different username but u can set a password for the root username but since its localhost and there wont be any security issues i'll just leave it blank
