Right, I have found the cause, the password was very short (2 chars, I know, not exactly secure but it was a dev temp database!) and it appears WorkBench doesnt allow authentication with a 2 char password. I have changed to a long password and it now connects ok...

i tried successfully with accounts having passwords of 1 and 2 char length ... dan, did you copy or type the passwd into the password dialog? could you try to reset to the 2-char passwd and see if the problem comes back? thanks in advance

I was typing in the 2 char password (and had to re0type it in SqlYog to change the password so I know I was typing the correct one. I cannot replicate on subsequent 1 or 2 char passwords so think this should be closed but i am stumped as to how the bug originally manifested itself, i am pretty confident it wasnt just me typing the password incorrectly!
