Cannot select database

Hello, I am having some problems when installing wordpress, when entering the following information:

Database Name: wordpress
Username: root
Password: empty
Database Host: localhost
Table Prefix: wp_

I have the error “Cannot select database”

I have created the database called wordpress, but it keeps giving me the error.

I have realized that I have an error (I don’t know if it has something to do with the error I am having), which I have found in the “Privileges” tab while I was inside my database, as you can see next:

And, at the top of the “Operations” tab, I get the following: phpMyAdmin configuration storage has been disabled, you can see it here:

I have had these errors after finishing installing xampp, and following a tutorial.
Thank you.
