Remote connection to MySQL [Access denied for root]

Hello, I'm fairly new to MySQL and I've just began developing programs in C#, vb.net etc that requires MySQL databases obviously to store information.
Well, I've had luck with WampServer so far and I just got a new VPS with OVH Hosting & I'm trying to connect to the MySQL-server I've installed on it, (I have LAMP installed). So, when I connect with MySQL workbench or even my own program I get this error:
Access denied for user 'root'@'rrcs-[Some IP Address].se.biz.rr.com' (using password: YES)
I've been told thus far to go into the my.cnf file in /etc/mysql but I've had no luck (binding IP addresses) I've also bound the "rrcs-.se.biz.rr.com" address, whatever that is.
Please help me, I'm pretty confused at the moment and any help is really appreciated. F.Y.I I don't have this issue on WampServer but I'm pretty sure there is a reason for that (and no OVH hosting isn't bad).
