   Unless you have changed the configuration, then by default:

   dbhost = localhost
   dbname = what ever you named it
   dbuser = root
   dbpass =

   There is no password, so just leave it empty. Note: this is a huge security problem if you are trying to use this on the web and not just your local machine.

   Also, make sure your wordpress source code is located in:

   C:\xampp\htdocs\xampp\wordpress

   On my local install of xampp, I successfully have files in:

   C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress
