Access Denied for MYSQL ERROR 1045
I just got a new macbook pro (OS X 10.8.2) and am attempting to get mysql set up on it. So far I've been able to get it installed but I cannot get my root user access (or any user for that matter). I plan on using this for Python , on my other computer I only use MYSQL (no MAMP) and I prefer to keep it that way. For reference, I did the following: $ alias mysql=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql $ sudo /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM start $ alias mysqladmin=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin When i enter mysql or mysql -u root -p it gives me this: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root
