Mysql configuration in linux
 

Hi..

I installed mysql 5.1 in my cent OS.

After that i am trying the command "mysql -u root" , I got the error message

"ERROR 1045 (28000) Access denied for user 'root@localhost' (using password:NO)

Any help would be appreciable

Thanks in advance

You must add the -p option on the end of your command so that it prompts you for the password. If you don't know the password you can start MySQL with the skip-grant-tables option and reset it:
