I have just installed MySQL 4.0.13-standard on Mac OS X 10.2.6 for the first time. While doing post-installation testing I got access denied error. e.g
Shell > ./bin/mysqladmin -u root shutdown ./bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: NO)'
Similarly I got an error when I did this test
Shell > ./bin/mysqlshow mysql ./bin/mysqlshow: Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database 'mysql'
Before these tests, I had used following commands to setup password
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password <password> /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h `hostname` password <password>
Thanks for the help
