I am still in the early steps of setting up a forum. I am trying to get MySQL set up and running right. I just set the root and password and then I typed \'mysqladmin -u root reload\' which took me gack to the prompt. Then I typed in \'mysqladmin -u root -p status\' to check the pass. Then I put in the pass when it askes me, and get this error.
mysqladmin: connect to server at \'localhost\' failed
error: \'Access denied for user: \'root@127.0.0.1\' <Using Password: YES>\'
Then it takes me back to the prompt. I am verry new to all of this so I have no idea what that error means that I need to do.
