Getting the following error when running mysqltest:

mysqltest: Failed in mysql_real_connect(): Access denied for user
 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)


Couldn't determine the cause. I just installed mysql and changed
the password for root user of mysql. I'm able to login via webmin 
though but the mysqltest still fails.

What needs to be done?

Regards,
Deboo
