I'm trying to copy a live WordPress site to my local server. I went to import the database from the live site through MAMP, and I received an error message when trying to connect to phpMyAdmin: 

**#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)** 

I have a couple local WP installations running already, and I'm able to access them through the localhost:8888/sitename path just fine. 

I haven't changed any passwords or messed around with any configurations in phpMyAdmin. In fact, it was all working fine just yesterday. I had to re-boot my computer because it froze on me this morning, and that's when the issues began. 

I even went into the config.inc.php file in Applications/MAMP/phpMyAdmin, and the usernames and passwords match what I had originally. (It definitely wasn't 'YES')

I'm stumped at this point. Could anyone help?
