How can I fix this?

Thanks, it happens when I go to my site.
Quote:Database: MySQL
SQL Error: 1045 - Access denied for user 'USERNAME'@'HOSTNAME' (using password: YES)
Query: [READ] Unable to connect to MySQL server
Information: This occurs when you are using MySQL and the database password is incorrect in ./inc/config.php. To fix this, open ./inc/config.php and check the entry for $config['database']['password']. If you do not know what needs to be here, contact your host provider.

You switched hosts or changed phpmyadmin password? If yes, make sure you've changed db password in your inc/config.php file accordingly.
And why are you using root?
If the OP is using WAMPServer (Local install), Then its easier to use root.
Wait, I got it, it was a plugin I had to configure.
