With the above command mysql thinks you are trying to access
database xxx using a password to be specified on the command line.
The correct syntax is:
mysql -u root -pxxx
Note that there is no space between the -p and the password.
Also note that unless you are executing this command from
within a script this is insecure as other users could sniff
your database password from the command line.
