ERROR 1045 unable to connect to the mysql server

[Michael Parchet]

Hello,

I have install the   mysql5 @5.1.60_0 and the   mysql5 @5.1.60_0 serve 
package via macport.

I used the mysql_secure_installation5 with my root password and now 
there are only the root user can access mysql.

But if I run mysql5 I get an error.

Here is my console output.

mysql5 -u root -p myRootPassword.
BatAdminEnter password:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using 
password: YES)

Do you know this error ?

Can you help me please ?

Tanks

Best regards
