PHP/MySQL help needed please

[pauldiston]

I am sure you have seen this question being asked a million times but I don;t know what to do.

This is the PHP piece of code I am using:-
$result = mysql_connect("127.0.0.1:3306", "root", "password");

This is the error I am getting when I run the PHP file :-
Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES) in C:\PROGRAM FILES\ABYSS WEB SERVER\htdocs\index.php on line 13

This is a copy of my.ini (note the username and password) :-

#This File was made using the WinMySQLAdmin 1.4 Tool

#Uncomment or Add only the keys that you know how works.
#Read the MySQL Manual for instructions


[mysqld]
basedir=C:/MYSQL
#bind-address=169.254.217.29
datadir=C:/MYSQL/data
#language=C:/MYSQL/share/your language directory
#slow query log#=
#tmpdir#=
#port=3306
#set-variable=key_buffer=16M

[WinMySQLadmin]
Server=C:/MYSQL/bin/mysqld-opt.exe
user=root
password=password

How do I change access permission as this seems to be the problem. Any help on this will be great.
Thanks

Are you sure you have set the password to 'password' for the root user? At default there is no password so you could try:
$result = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "");
