Can't connect to database

Hi everyone.
I have a connection to my database.If my database doesn’t require a password everything works well, the Connection is made.
This is my connection without password:
Conn.Open “Driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};SERVER=localhost;DATABASE=Database;Uid=xxx;OPTION=3;”

Once I put a password to my username for my database it stops working.
This is my connection with password:
Conn.Open “Driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};SERVER=localhost;DATABASE=Database;Uid=xxx;Pwd=xxx;OPTION=3;”

the error message I get is:
The connection cannot be used to perform this operation.It is either closed or invalid in this context.

Anyone has a clue how to fix this ?
Thanks!

What server-side language are you using?

I’m using classic ASP and MySQL

Are you able to connect to the database using the same username and password via the MySQL command line?

Yes I’m able to connect to mysql database with the MySQL command line.
