I've been trying to set up a mySQL server today, and I can get so far, but keep getting a problem, I've never done anything like this before so I'm quite happy to accept that I'm missing something easy, but any help would be gratefully received.
I'm running Suse 7.1

Seems like the MySQL server does not accept your password, then. Are you sure it is correct? It is not the same as the root user's login password! Be default, there is no MySQL password for the root user at all. Does it work, if you provide no password?
