I have just installed MySQL 5. I can access the program as a regular user, but not as root. As I regular user I have no privileges. If I attempt to access as root, I receive this error message. ERROR 1045 (28000) Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) I can access the program as root using: mysql -u root -p and then supplying a password at the prompt, but that is about it. What can I do to correct this problem? I tried deleting the entire package and reinstalling it, but the problem continues. When I first installed the program, it worked, but only one time. Obviously, I did something, but I do not know what. -- Gerard
