You need to use the username and password of the database, not the OS, to connect to MySQL. You would also need to set up an account for the username/host name of the remote computer within MySQL for this to work successfully. If this is a new installation of MySQL, try leaving username and password blank as I think there is a default account with open credentials. In any event, have a look at the user table in the mysql database for the accounts that have been already set up.
