  Figured this error 1044 & 1045 out and would like to share it:
  
  at the shell key in
  
  >mysql -u(username) -p mysql
  
  //*you'll be prompted to give your password.
  Key it in (you won't see anything).
  
  Bingo! You are in and can start creating!
  
  Here's what it looked like from my iBook terminal:
  ~~~~~~
  Welcome to Darwin!
  [localhost:~] gaga% mysql -uroot -p mysql
  Enter password:
  Reading table information for completion of table and column names

  maybe this will help someone...
  
  when i type:
  " ./mysql -uroot -p mysql"
  
  i get:
  Enter password:
  ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)
  
  what fixed it was
  doing this:
  
  " ./mysqladmin -u root password [type a password here]"
  
  then i log on doing this:
  
  "./mysql -uroot -p"
  
  from there i can finally log on and create databases... this is using the latest osx update (10.2.6) and the latest version of mysql (4.0.14-standard)
  
  good luck

  Thank You gaga1 for posting your fix that you found totally on your own with no help of the author, mysql.com tutorial, etc.
  It's nice to follow a tutorial like this and do things but sometimes the authors don't think it too important to tell us about little syntax idiosyncrasies like the difference between -u root and -uroot. with the former I spent hours trying to figure out why I couldn't connect. with the latter of which you provided It worked. I'm in as root user. and I am realatively comfortable with unix but was totally unaware of the whitespace issue in using mysql. I hope everyone else that had this problem can fix it here. It worked for me and others. once again. a big thanks for the trial and error method of gaga1 and not the help of the author.

  Welcome to Darwin!
  You have new mail.
  [localhost:~] mdhowes% mysql -umdhowes -p mysql
  Enter password:
  ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'mdhowes@localhost' (Using password: YES)
  [localhost:~] mdhowes% mysql -uroot -p mysql
  Enter password:
  ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)
  [localhost:~] mdhowes%
  
  Any Ideas? Personally I think it was a bum install on my behalf
  Thanx in advance

  I don't know but maybe you had my problem. I just posted a thank you to gaga1. his advice helped me. I had to try it 2 times as I had run mysqladmin at one time trying to fix up my problem and had changed the password to my system admin password on my machine. so the second time I tried that and I found that it had been changed. if that don't work I'm at a loss. check through the online documentation at http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/
  
  Good Luck.

  First, I want to give a "BIG THANKS!" to gaga1. I finally got mysql working!
  
  And, to morbus: If all you have to say is a patronizing "RTFM," please don't bother posting. With all of the flavors of UNIX there are, Mac OS X is probably one of the strangest. And most of the users, like Venste and me, are used to a GUI and are having a difficult time already. One of the things we also got used to is finding help. We are constantly reminded that we make up a small percentage of personal computers out there, and we have to try 10 times harder just to get help-- going to the local computer store does no good. So, in general, I agree, read the manual first. But don't assume everyone else is lazy and did not bother looking for answers before posting. We are all just trying to learn.
