Use the commandline client, mysql to get access to the server. There's a tutorial here http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/tutorial.html
My question was how to do precisely that. The tutorial referred to says: shell> mysql -h host -u user -p Enter password: ********
My question is how to find out what that password is.
You assign it when you install mysql, so it is whatever you assigned. If memory serves me right, when you first start the daemon, it spits out a message to the console telling you to set the password. Have you done a rcmysql as root? Mine is set to root, so I am able to simply do shell>mysql And it fires right up logged in to localhost as root.
