mysql GUI. Very silly question

Hi, I'm new in using MySQL. First of all, excuse my bad English.

If u could help it could be marvellous.

I've installed mysql GUI but I don't know how to create a connection. I
explain:
The parameters and my answers are:

Connection: connection
Username: me
Password: something
Hostname: localhost
Port: 3306 (by default)
Type: MySQL

I don't know why the connection is not possible. Maybe I have to change
the port?

The error says:

Could not connect to the specified instance
MySQL error number 1045
Access denied for user me@localhost

The xampp is running perfectly... I don't know what hapenns, but in the
other hand I'm only guessing because I don't know how it's done.

Thank u very much!!

From below your user name and password is probably incorrect. Try
either user name = anonymous with no password, or user name = root and
the password you gave mysql when you configured it - possibly none.
