Check how many root rows do you have on the user table (select * from user where user='root';), some times there are several rows with different grants and probably you are going through and invalid rule.

Hi Carlos

Try this

mysql>  update user set password=password('letmein') where user='root';


This way the password is saved encrypted, thats the way is compared when you
try to log in.

Thanks for the reply! I followed both methods in the following URL / link:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html#resetting-permissions-unix

After doing both successfully, I was unable to login over and over. I
think something is wrong with MySQL. I have never seen this before :(
