I just downloaded the "MaNGOS v2.0.12 Server [COMPLETE]" torrent found at The Pirate Bay and followed all steps pointed out there.
I'm using Xampp as Apache & MySQL server.
Every time I start realmd.exe I get a glimpse of a command prompt and then the log appears saying
Code:

2007-05-23 22:46:16 MaNGOS realm daemon /0.7-SVN (Win32)
2007-05-23 22:46:16 <Ctrl-C> to stop.

2007-05-23 22:46:16 ERROR:Could not connect to MySQL database at 127.0.0.1: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
2007-05-23 22:46:16 ERROR:Cannot connect to database
I am not using any password on my root account, how come I can't connect?
EDIT: mangosd.exe displays the same error in its log
