Create a new MySQL database for Drupal to use

Now that the MySQL service is started you can build your database so that Drupal has somewhere to store the content for your webpage. You will need a client to administer your database. We will be using 'phpMyAdmin' as our MySQL client.

Download phpMyAdmin

unzip phpMyAdmin and copy the contents to the htdocs folder located in the XAAMP program directory.

Follow these step from the Drupal Installation Guide

" This presumes you have root access to phpMyAdmin

1. Log in to phpMyAdmin as the root user.
2. Click Privileges and Add a new User OR you can use root user credential as well..
3. In the User name field, enter the username you wish to use.

5. Enter or generate a password for the user.
6. In the Database for User list, select Create database with same name and grant all privileges and click Go. "
