I know for one thing you can safe your xampp for example for any website you guys might have I suggest you guys patch "pma" people like hackers can hack into that without a password and you might need it some day if you ever get hacked with "root"
P.S its for phpmyadmin and I made sure to secure mines
sqve yout htdocs files on a other map and uninstall xampp instal xampp 1.7.1 then adn go to localhost set the same pass like on the other camp and pate that files then back ;-)
