I cannot login to mysql using the terminal.
[root@fst mysql]# mysql -h localhost -u admin -p
Enter password:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
I am sure I have the correct password. The mysql is also running when I check status. The mysql database is also present in the directory /var/lib/mysql/. The host host.myi, host.myd and host.frm are present.
By the way this a related to question on my previous problem MySQL server quit without updating PID file . Initially the problem arise when the root directory was full. To be able to login to directadmin and start mysql, I added a soft link of the /var/lib/mysql/ to /home/mysql. Since my database used up the most of the root directory. The root directory has 50Gb and /home has 1.5Gb. Somehow the /var/lib/mysql/idbdata1 is corrupted. So I move it to another location.
Now, I can start the mysql server but I cannot login into it.
Below are the contents from the myql logs.

I guess there is something wrong with the bind address. How should I fix the problem?
