Switching Database Server Engine

[Gaelan]

I know there is already a doc for this ( http://download1.parallels.com/Ples.../plesk-8.2-win-reconfigurator-guide/30856.htm ) but unfortunately it seems to have been written by the helpful folks at Ikea. I tried following the steps, but the lack of specifics has led me to assume that the Plesk documentation is almost as bad as their Products and support. Can anyone here provide me with a simple process to switch my Plesk DB provider to mysql? I can follow the steps in the aforementioned help doc, but it errors out that access is denied for root@localhost. Should I be using a different username here? I have no means of connecting to the mysql instance that listens on 8306 so I cannot even see what I am doing wrong. Can anyone shed some light here.
