Try to connect to mysql with the same credentials on your terminal. If it doesn't work then you need to reset your root password.
sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.1 Should do the trick and then restart the server (That works on ubuntu). Also you should consider creating a separate user instead of using root.
