Go to  env file and change the following  DB CONNECTION mysql DB HOST 127 0 0 1 DB PORT 3306 DB DATABASE shreemad DB USERNAME root DB PASSWORD    Change the DB PASSWORD field to   DB CONNECTION mysql DB HOST 127 0 0 1 DB PORT 3306 DB DATABASE shreemad DB USERNAME root DB PASSWORD       In my case it works    NOTE  If your password in mysql is null

I know this is a little late  nevertheless i m answering this for anyone still experiencing this issue on windows  USING XAMPP    Step 1  Verify that there is a mismatch in your PHP version          To do this  open routes web php and create a simple route to return the php information like so    Route  get      function        return response  - gt json        stuff    gt  phpinfo                 and compare this with output from your command line     As we can see  in my case there is a mismatch  this usually happens if you have multiple versions of php installed    Step 2  Add the php version being used by your xampp to your system path   Step 3  Verify that you have the extension enabled in your php ini file   NB  Make sure you are editing the php ini file that is shown under the  loaded configuration file  entry in the results of phpinfo   command

whilst sometimes you might have multiple php versions  you might also have a held-back version of php-mysql   do a sudo dpkg -l   grep mysql   grep php and compare what you get from php -v
