The form of the command should be something like this:
mysql -h localhost -u root -p
I wouldn't specify a password on the command line for security
reasons. If you execute the command I posted above, you will be
automatically prompted for the user's password. Of course, if you
just reset the database, the root user won't have a password so you
should omit the "-p" argument.
Alternatively, you can always run /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation
and that will help secure your installation. It will also help you
set the root password.
I am all fixed now. Asked on the Centos list and got an ear full!
