This is a very common error that has to do with different hashing algorithms used between versions of MySQL. Open up phpMyAdmin and run this command:

 

SET PASSWORD FOR user@localhost = OLD_PASSWORD('password');

 

Change "user" to your mysql username and "password" to your mysql password. This should fix your problem.
