Server rejects my connection after I change the password.....

I previously installed XAMPP with the previous PHP tutorial. I followed the instructions and ran phpMyAdmin and it worked just fine. I changed the password like shown in the video, and now I get this error:

#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

Please help! I can't continue this course...
