I've had the same problem - I can connect when connecting as a user with
no password, but not as a user with a password.
However, this is not a problem with MySQL++, but rather with the
underlying C API.
Try connecting using mysql_real_connect(), and you should have the same
problem. I've posted to the general MySQL list, but haven't received
much of a response yet.
