ive got mysql running on my system, i can access databases as root. but now, it tells me 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' tried changing my root password via mysqladmin, it gives me the same error. what will i do? thanks!

are you login as a root??? try to login as root(mysql -h localhost -u root), and if you have made a password for root, use this command(mysql -h localhost - u root -p)...and then, please you make a new user in mysql database...OK?? patrix I think, computer is the last tecnologi, and may be ...the other invention just a develop of the computer system...

hi patrix ...i never created a username and password for mysql. i am logged in as root. when im trying to do something in mysql ... it gives me the same error... 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' ..blahblah... ive seen in /usr/lib/ ownership is with mysql, tried su to mysql ... and then do something in mysql still the same error. tried also to edit my.cnf from "user = mysql" to user = root" ...still the same. thanks.

Try changeing directories with "cd"then try again
