Yes, it is asking for a password.

You should follow the instructions about setting passwords on the MySQL documentation pages - see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/...rivileges.html - this shows you should set up passwords for root@localhost and root@% and I suggest you also do one for root@machine_name.

To be safe you should create another account that will be used for accessing your database, and do not use root.
