connect to external mysql??

Localhost is running great. Now I would like to connect to a mysql database on my webhosts servers. I used to be able to do this by putting the database host address, username, and password into the phpmyadmin config.inc file. But I updated wamp and the config.inc is much longer and when I enter the connection info I get a mysql error:
Acces Denied (using password:yes)

Maybe I have to change one of the other settings as well?

Thanks

You probably need to set your webhost db server to allow connections from your IP.
