Cannot login as root to mysql

[Mike S]

I had an account "mike" to mysql. But somehow I change the password. So now 
I have just one access to the system as root.
Trying to login to mysql as root with password and without password no 
success. Root password is: 123456.

What I'm doing wrong? I cannot connect to MYSQL as root.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] init.d]# mysql -h localhost -u root -p
Enter password:
ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] init.d]# mysql -h localhost -u root
ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: NO)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] init.d]#
