Access frobidden problem using xamp to create wordpress site

Hi!

I hope you are well.

I am having the following issue which I'm hoping someone can help me with.

I am trying to create a wordpress site hosted in my machine and using xampp to do so.

I was successful initially and could start wi¡orking on the site but suddenly the apache service on xampp would not start. I read that this could be resolved uninstalling apache from  the computer with the console and installing xampp again which did resolve it but now I get the following error when I type http://localhost/C:/xampp/htdocs/wordpress/nomind on the browser to biuld the site:

Access forbidden!

You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

Error 403

localhost Apache/2.4.25 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.0.2j PHP/5.6.30

I downloaded wamp and had the same problem, also xampp on another computer I have at home and also had the same issue. I even restored my computer since I did not had the problem initially but it did not help.

Thank you very much in advance for your time and help!!!
