The password supplied was incorrect or you don't have permission to login as root from "localhost". Note that to MySQL "localhost" is a hostname and is not the same as the actual name of your machine. You shouldn't be loggin in as mysql root anyway.

Create a new user. Make sure to specify which hosts the user can connect from.

Assign the appropriate DB permissions.

Flush the privileges table.
