Old installation on Solaris 7, can't admin...

[Mark Jaffe]

I've inherited an existing system and am attempting to do some admin tasks. I can't get access as root, and no one seems to know anything about the system. I've just modified the /usr/local/mysql/data/my.cnf (that's what 'ps -aef' shows mysqld is using) with a password and I still get this:
> mysql -u root -p bonsai
Enter password:
ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)
