urgent :mysqldump problem

[bonosa]

On windows I had no problem doing this:
mysqldump --opt pmadb1 > testfile;

but on linux I get:

fromB> mysqldump --opt pmadb1 > may16
mysqldump: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user: 'bonosa@localhost' (Using password: NO) when trying to connect

What do I need to do here to get it to work?

Thanks,
sb

mysqldump -u root --opt pmadb1 > may16
