Resetting MySQL Root Password with XAMPP on Localhost

So for the past hour I’ve been trying to figure out how to reset my ‘root’ password for MySQL as I cannot log into PHPMyAdmin. I’ve tried changing the password in the config.inc.php file and searching through other methods. I cannot find a successful way. A few months ago I changed it as a test password but now I forget what it was. If anyone can help, that would be great. (I’m running on a Windows computer).
