Create Database denied

[ama299]

Hello

I have a simple question I think

on my local machine I go and type in

mysqladmin create databasename

I get this


C:\mysql\bin>mysqladmin create phpwebsite
mysqladmin: CREATE DATABASE failed; error: 'Access denied for user: '@localhost'
to database 'phpwebsite''

what is wrong I reinstalled and uninstalled a couple of times.

It looks to me like you're going to have to give mysqladmin some user credentials to pass to MySQL.

mysqladmin -u <username> -p

Will tell mysqladmin to connect to MySQL with the username specified and to ask for a password.
