They changed the default behavior of the client on MySQL recently. It used to let you connect without the -p argument if there wasn't a password set. Try this: # mysqladmin -u root -p -password "[password]" Just hit "Return" when it prompts you for a password. As far as I can tell the -p argument is now required for the client.
