issue with connecting to DB

Here is the code: <?php $link = mysql_connect("xxx", "xxxxx", "xxxxx") or die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error()); print ("Connected successfully"); mysql_close($link); ?> WhenI try to connect, I get the following error: Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect <http://www.php.net/function.mysql-connect> ]: Access denied for user: 'xxxx@xxxx' (Using password: YES) in /xxx/xxxx/xxxxx/xxxx/testdb.php on line 2 Could not connect: Access denied for user: xxxxx@xxxx' (Using password: YES) I know the userid and password work because I can connect to the db via phpmyadmin, etc. version mysql 3.23.52 php 3 I have google searched and archived searched but I cannot find anything on this error. We recently changed the password. Does anyone have any idea what is happening? Thanks
