PHP / MySQL on IIS

i'm trying to run php / mysql on a windows box with IIS 5. I know it'd be better to use apache, but i also develop in asp / asp.net and sqlserver.

the guy who was here before me got php working, and possibly mysql (i think). the problem i'm having is that i cant get phpmyadmin to recognise that mysql is there, i get the following error...

phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in config.inc.php and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.
