It could be either you haven't set up a user by that name or you didn't set
that users password correctly. Have another read of Ch 6 of the manual and
then the GRANT and REVOKE commands in chapter 7.

Subject: running mysql as different users
> Hi all:
>
> I need help here. I am trying to install mysql here. First, I was able to
> install it, but only be able to run it as either root or mysql. I tried
> installation several times. Somehow, it worked now. I was able to login as
> a different user and run /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql (just run mysql did
not
> work). I then tried to run it using /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u
slash -p.
> And, it did not work this time. It says:
>
> ERROR 1045: Access denied for user 'slash@localhost' (Using Password:
YES).
>
> I am really confused, desperately need help.
>
> Thanks in advance.
