Access Denied on New Installation

Hi, I have a new installation using XAMPP-PHP on Windows 10. No errors on installation. I had errors using v7 so reverted to 5.6
Index of /opencats
Parent Directory
OpenCATS/
2017-10-29 20:33
Apache/2.4.23 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.0.2h PHP/5.6.28 Server at localhost Port 80
Access denied for user 'cats'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

I created a DB as opencats, with a user of opencats and cats. I tried hostname localhost and 127.0.0.1 but the same error. I've seen very similar questions but non of the solutions seemed to help.
Thanks,

Are you sure, that your DB is accessible with credentials that are in config.php?
Please test if you are able to connect to DB via a mysql client.
