==================

when i try mysql

[root@m5157 ~]# mysql
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
mysqladmin -u root pass new-pass
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'
Try to start mysql server as 'Mysql' user which most probably you used when installing the database as follows:-
PHP Code:
[root@localhost ~]# cd /usr/local/ [root@localhost local]# cd mysql [root@localhost mysql]# bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql & Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/data
Or,
start the mysql server with no privileges and that way you can reset the admin password of mysql root user.
