Hi, I'm trying to install mySQL onto my linux box (running Mandrake 7.2). It installed correctly but I cannot gain access to it. After I ran mysql_install_db there was a comment in it stating how to set the root password...well, I tried that and nothing worked. I keep getting error 1045, which is:
ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)
(note that sometimes is says YES after (Using password : ___)
I've tried a million things and no luck so far. Can anyone help me? I just need to set the root password so that I can gain access to mySQL
Thanks
tom
