I am trying to clone a real hosted website on GoDaddy.com to a local WAMPserver environment on Windows 7.
Everything seems to work except I cannot access the database on clone. This is screenshot from backup setup on real website.

On restore, you need to create a new database and use those details to import the mysql backup, the old mysql details are no good.

I had this same problem. During the install if you put in a password when MYSQL was installed, that is where the problem is. It is simple to fix simply edit the config.php file Sk00t3r spoke of and you will see the password field is labled as

Define ("MYSQL_PASSWORD", ""),

enter in the password you entered during setup ie.

Define ("MYSQL_PASSWORD", "your password here"),

Once I did this it came right up for me.
