That would mean there is not root password for mysql.

try:

 mysql> show databases;

do you see a Rivendell database?

If so, and this machine has never been running before, and if perhaps you
have  backup from another system, drop it and run rdadmin.

When it runs, try putting in root as a user and leaving the password blank.

Then come back and see if you have a Rivendell database.

all the best,

drew
