I've inherited an existing system and am attempting to do some admin tasks. I can't get access as root, and no one seems to know anything about the system. I've just modified the /usr/local/mysql/data/my.cnf (that's what 'ps -aef' shows mysqld is using) with a password and I still get this:
> mysql -u root -p bonsai
Enter password:
ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)
Is bonsai the password? If so, there should be no space between the -p and the bonsai. If not, and you don't know the password, follow the directions in the manual for "I forgot the password". --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
