If you intend to run this as a private server (i.e. no internet connection running while playing on your server) you can also start mysql with the --skip-grant-tables parameter.

Example:
Start -> Run -> "cmd"
c:\
cd\mysql\bin
mysqld-nt.exe --skip-grant-tables

(creating a batch file in mysql/bin directory would be an easier solution)

This will ignore all privileges and allow ANYONE to do whatever he/she wants with your databases (hence the comment about your server being private only).
Skipping the grant tables is somewhat dangerous, however, it will solve your problem with the wrong username/password.
