Shawn,
	After you reset your MySQL root user password, did you reload the 
tables so that your new password would be recognized?  That is done 
using either of the following:

mysqladmin -u root reload
mysqladmin -u root flush-privileges

NOTE: The "-u root" portion is based on an assumption that prior to 
changing your password, the password had been blank.

Regards,
