I'm a newbee and I got this same message.

I have mysql running on iis & winxp.

i remember the password that i entered while installing the server.

when i tried to connect just using the password, it gives the message 'access denied...odbc@localhost'.

then i gave the username as 'root', then enter my password and it connects without any problem.

i did not create any users, i think user 'root' is there by default.

also i understand that when you do not specify a user it takes the user as 'odbc' and that creates the problem.

either use 'root' or create a user 'odbc'.

:-)
