I would first shut down mysqld - the mysql service(probably a way with xampp to do this)
Then check the my.ini file and make sure you know EXACTLY what it says the password is - case matters. Also changing the ini file while it is running doen't change it until it restarts.
Restart the mysql service (with xampp)/
Try the mysql -u root -p[password]
if you still have a problem you have a choice of uninstalling and reinstalling it.. or resetting it which is a bit of hacking.
