There's probably a password set. Look up how to reset a password:

I have just loaded MySQL 5 and MySQL Front on to a new computer, and I

Connection failed:
1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
My Old pc has exactly the same settings but that uses MySQL 4
I have done a system restore to the point before I installed MySQL 5,
and then installed MySQL 4 and that went on with no problem, and I am
able to make a connection with MySQL Front! So, what's different in
the processes of installation between v4 and v5 that stops me making a
connection with v5? What have I done wrong.
In both instances, I have used 'localhost' as my Hostname and 'root'
as my username, and 'root' as a password for v4 and 'NO' password for
v5 (because I didn't see anywhere where it asked for it - I think).
I am using MySQL Front because I'm not Neo and I don't see the world
in zero's and one's ;)
