I'm trying to dump my SQL datbase, and I keep getting the following error: mysqldump: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) when trying to connect I'm using the following command to do this: root@applewildschool:~# mysqldump -u root -p applewild > applewild.sql What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your response! It looks like it may have worked.

But how will I know if the file is correct?

You can take a look at the file's contents by running 
less applewild.sql
