Looks like you are not using the right username/password - or that there is no user named root.
From the MySQL commandline, which you'll find in [tt]mysql\bin[/tt], you can try it - say your username is root and your password is 1234, you type:
That can tell you if root/1234 exists.
Best,
Jakob

Code:
mysql\bin>mysql -u[b][red]root[/red][/b] -p[b][red]1234[/red][/b]That can tell you if root/1234 exists.

You might also want to check whether the root user if it exists has enough privileges to connect to to mysql from wherever it is you are trying to connect if its not on the same server as the mysql db resides.
