local server ?Have you used the OLD PASSWORD command ?
do a google.
it didnt work via msql admin,
i had to go via cmd prompt
i recently set my machine up as a local server,
and i couldnt db connect.
I could through msq admin.
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR ’root’@’localhost’ = OLD_PASSWORD(’yourpassword’);
change your password to yours
once done it falls into place.
