Having problem to Connect to the database

[eishita]

Hi there

I have created a server using Linux Mandriva 2010.0. but having problem while setting the database connectivity. Whenever I'm typing the command ---

[root@128 ~]# mysqladmin -u root password mypassword

its giving me the following error

mysqladmin: connect to the server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localho st' (using password: NO)'

And when I'm trying to connect to the database using a php script, it shows me the following error:

Database Error: Access denied for user 'root'@'pp001e3 71ac9eb.usask.c a' (using password: YES)

Can anybody help me please?

That should be -u root -p yourpass.
