So what happens when you run rdadmin? I would think that if it can't make a connection to mySQL that it would run the routine to set up a database in the running one (as pointed to in rd.conf - so check on this too). In doing so it would ask for the admin password to mySQL so to create a new one. rd.conf would also have the credentials that Rivendell will use to access the database.
If your mySQL happens to be on another computer, this will complicate things because the usual default installations of mySQL often limit access to the local machines for security reasons. So you would have to further configure mySQL (and any other firewalling software you might be running) to allow for this. Worse case, try accessing mySQL (and any rivendell data base there) directly using various mySQL admin tools, and see what might be going on. Look for a created Rivendell data base with all the long list of security options set. Again rdadmin is suppose to do all this for you on its first run, so perhaps something went wrong there (like you changed something afterwards).
