Dear list,

I am trying to install an accounting package that uses a MySQL database.

The installation instructions say:

"5a Setup MySQL database

mysqladmin -u root -p create bw_accounting "

So,  when I try to do it  I get an error eg
 
[root@plaza /root]# mysqladmin -u root -p create bw_accounting
Enter password:
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)'
[root@plaza /root]#

I have never created a MySQL admin account therefore it does not have a 
password.   How do I create a admin account?

Am I totally off the mark?

regard,

Richard Hayes
