php myadmin problem

[unclebob123]

im my php my admin panel I had the message

Your configuration file contains settings (root with no password) that correspond to the default MySQL privileged account. Your MySQL server is running with this default, is open to intrusion, and you really should fix this security hole by setting a password for user '.root'.

So I followed this guide to set the password

http://guides.jlbn.net/setpw/setpw1.html

Now when I try and log in i get the message #1045 - Access denied for user 'username'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

has anyone had this problem and know how to resolve it?

Thanks.

Normally root would have access to everything and you should just be able to run a SET PASSWORD SQL statement within MySQL to set the password for a user.
