whenever i open phpmyadmin it showing that access denied and

1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.
i dont know how to rectify it.and even i has googled i didnt got answer for this.some of the solutions have tried but it didnt rectified.please help me.

Can you access MySQL by using the command line tool?

Has the service stopped running?

On Windows:
Start Menu > Run > Type: 'services.msc' > Hit enter > Find 'mysql' > Right Click > Click 'Start' if not already running.
