#1130 - Host 'localhost' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server

I am getting this message when I try to connect to my recently upgraded MySQL ( I went from 3.21 to 4.1.7) on windows XP pro... I used the configuration wizard after the windows install wizard and have even tried to access mysql from the command line... this is not really a permissions issue because I can't even connect as root to set up the other permissions with the grant command.

Any help ?

Make sure that you upgrade your grant tables. I believe that there is a script that does this but I can't remember what it is.

The details are here:

That's a help, but I can't even seem to connect as root in order to update my grant tables... any other tips ?
