Webmin error: DBI connect failed : Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'mysql'

Good morning. I recently leased my own Linux dedicated server through Crystaltech. It comes with a web-based administration tool called "Webmin",which gives me the ability to configure various server settings, including MySQL Server.

I was tinkering with some of the MySQL settings in the Webmin interface, and am now getting the following error message:

DBI connect failed : Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'mysql'

I don't recall specifically what it is that I did, but I need to correct this problem, as I am now unable to create databases. In fact, almost every section within the MySQL manager is giving me this same error. Please advise.

Thanks,
- Yvan
