Could someone please explain to me how to connect to a MySQL Database?

I use the following code but I used the real password, and not “12345678”:

But it gives me this error message:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user ‘root’@’localhost’ (using password: YES) in C:\xampp\xampp\htdocs\mysql.php on line 3 Access denied for user ‘root’@’localhost’ (using password: YES)

What does this mean?
