When I issue the command mysql -u root -p then type in my pw I get:
Connect to server at locahost failed error: access denied for user: root@locahost (Using password:YES)
I am almost perfectly sure I know the password and I am typing it in correct but it wouldn't work.
So no problem I delete the /usr/local/mysql dir and ./mysql again.
When I try to readd root after re-make it still says the same thing.
Any clues?
