Sounds like you are still having some kind of firewall issue. You said you disabled your firewall, but was that the built-in Windows firewall, or some 3rd party Firewall? If you are running other security suites, they may be blocking the connection still. I see something that looks like a Norton icon in your system tray with checkmark on it which to me seems like you may still have some security stuff enabled.

Rerun the configuration and reset the password. Thats how I fixed mine. Make sure you have the current password.

For the 1045 error, you may have had MySQL installed before and didn't completely uninstall it. In that case it uses the old root password. Either make sure you uninstall completely or do what Werebat said.

It's possible the directory layout changed for 5.5. The simple fix is use an older version, like 5.0 or 5.1. If you can't or don't want to do that then you'll need to do some detective work to find where the files you need are stored now.
