Mac OS: XAMPP localhost cannot login

under Mac os 10.6, out of sudden I cannot access the localhost.

 

under safari, once it goes to http://localhost/, it ask for the login name and password. But there is never a password has been set. (An authorization site ask for the password of "xampp user"....)

 

There are all kinds of solutions when google it, for example: delete the ".htaccess" file. However I cannot find that file at all.

Finally, I find the solution:

 

username: xampp

password: root

 

dunt know why, dunt know how it solved this login issue. But if you are using the default setting in xampp, you can try this.
