So, where is the user name that tried to connect with? If you don't supply one it will assume anonymous. If anonymous is not allowed access, you'l be denied. That's what happened here.

Try connecting as root
c:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin>mysql -uroot -p
enter root's password when prompted. If you haven't set a root password, then it is blank, just press enter.

Good luck,
Barry.
