MySQL Installation Problem

I've just installed MySQL version 4.0.13 On A Windows 2000 machine, using
the binary distribution. I installed mysqld-nt as a service and started it
using 'net start mysql'.

I tried to set a password for 'root' using:

mysqladmin -u root -h localhost password
followed by:
mysqladmin -u root -h localhost reload

I then tried to log in using:

mysql -u root -h localhost -p
and entered my chosen password when prompted. I got:
"Access denied for user 'root@127.0.0.1'

However, I can still log in anonymously using
mysql -u root -h localhost

I'd be most grateful if anyone could suggest what might be wrong.

I've recently converted to Windows Active Directory. Could this have
anything to do with it? I could run MySQL before.
