I'm getting this error when
softweb:~ # mysql
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
I'm not even inputting the password and its telling me that I'm giving one.
in the my.cnf file there is no login saved.
If I change the password to the one I had before I can log in without writing -pXXXX
so my problem is that I don't want to be able to log in without explicitly writing -pXXXX.
I tried to completely uninstall mysql and reinstall (erasing everything i could find that it had something to do with mysql) but it still has somehow that password saved. I'm using SLES 11 SP1 and 5.1.51-community MySQL Community Server.
Any help would be really appreciated.
