MySQL deny login via terminal and phpmyadmin

Question

I am trying to login to mysql via terminal and phpmyadmin it says cannot access localhost.

Below is the return message when trying to login via the terminal

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) root@x27:/var/lib/phpmyadmin# mysql --user=root -pass root

I installed the mysqladministrator GUI too.

If nothing else works you could simply reset the root password. dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html — Zoredache

You would need to reset the root password - it looks like you supplied an incorrect one.
