Re: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES))

Usually that error indicates that the password you used is incorrect. It can also mean that you're trying to use a password with an account for which none has been set.

Try mysql -uroot without any other arguments. If that works, then there's no password for the root account (and you should set one!). If it doesn't, and you don't know the correct password, see How to Reset the Root Password, in the MySQL Manual.

cheers,
