Memcached – Artisan Migrate Access Denied

I was setting up a Laravel environment. So, I downloaded XAMPP and configured my vhost files accordingly. Then, I setup MySQL and ran the following commands:

1. composer install
2. npm install
3. php artisan (to confirm I had artisan)
4. php artisan migrate

After, running number 4, I get the following error in the picture.

C:UsersAslamDesktopPfera_applicationpfera-web>php artisan migrate -v

   IlluminateDatabaseQueryException  : SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'forge'@'localhost' (using password: YES) (SQL: select * from information_schema.tables where table_schema = forge and table_name = migrations)

  at C:UsersAslamDesktopPfera_applicationpfera-webvendorlaravelframeworksrcIlluminateDatabaseConnection.php: 664
  660:         // If an exception occurs when attempting to run a query, we'll format the error
  661:         // message to include the bindings with SQL, which will make this exception a

  663:         catch (Exception $e) {
  664:             throw new QueryException(
  665:                 $query, $this->prepareBindings($bindings), $e
  666:             );
  667:         }
  668:
  669:         return $result;

  Exception trace:

Please help!!! Thanks a lot!
