I’ve ssh onto server. Then tried to use mysqladmin -u root -p ‘password’ to access mysql, but that doesn’t work. How can I add a user to mysql? which command should I use?

Use <br>mysql -u root -p <br>Enter your password <br> <br>CREATE USER ‘username’@‘host’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘password’;
@themadman300 <br>I tried it, but here is what I get: <br>ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘root’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)
Did you restart MySQL and set a password yet? Restart the mysql service and set a pass for MYSQL root, use that pass for mysql. <br>
