Cant create database with Sequel Pro

I am trying to create a database with Sequel Pro and it keeps coming up with an error "Unable to connect to host because access was denied.

Double-check your username and password and ensure that access from your current location is permitted.

MySQL said: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)"

I have mySQL server running on my Mac. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
