I changed my root password and now can't connect to MySQL

Okay, so I changed my root password using this command.... C:\> C:\mysql\bin\mysql mysql mysql> DELETE FROM user WHERE Host='localhost' AND User=''; mysql> QUIT C:\> C:\mysql\bin\mysqladmin reload C:\> C:\mysql\bin\mysqladmin -u root password my_password Then I went into my dbconnect.inc file and edited it so it looks like this... $mysql_link = mysql_connect('69.69.69.69', 'root', 'my_password') or die ("Cannot connect to The Database."); $db = 'test'; mysql_select_db ($db, $mysql_link) or die ("Could net set database '$db' as the active database."); Now, whenever my script runs a MySQL command, I get this error.... Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Access denied for user: 'root@MY_PC' (Using password: YES) in C:\...\dbconnect.inc on line 3 Cannot connect to The Database. What am I doing wrong?????? THANKS!!!!!!!
