In some way I have managed to get this error when I try to access into MySQL via the command line:
[root@localhost ~]# mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
I have tried resetting the password without any luck using this HowTo.
I have uninstalled mysql completley and reinstalled but I still get asked for a password. I have no idea why this is the case!
Can someone please help me get a default install of MySQL.
Environment
Fedora Core 10, Full Root Access, Apache and PHP installed
Thank you for any help!!
EDIT
To all those that would like to save themselves a few hours of "blood coughing" - when you uninstall MySQl completely delete everything that is left behind. If you don't do this, it will never be a FRESH install.
