I just installed Red Hat Enterprise 5, along with MySQL. I have run mysql_install_d b and I can see the mysql folder that contains the 'mysql' database with the users. Unfortunately, I can't login as root. I have tried without specifying a password, and also with a blank password. And I have tried the SAME using mysqladmin
I can login as any generic user without a password, but this of course won't allow be see the mysql table and have the rights that root has.
[root@romulus ~]# mysql
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localho st' (using password: NO)
[root@romulus ~]# mysql -u root -p
Password:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localho st' (using password: YES)
What else can I do to login as root?
