I've inherited an existing system and am attempting to do some admin

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".
