I just installed MySQL 5 on my Mac running Leopard. When I connect to localhost using MacSQL 3, the test database loads and when I try to create a new database, it says Access Denied...
I am the admin and the only user on my Mac...

Is there an admin login created by default for access...?

Normally, the mysql admin user is 'root' (without the quotes) and the password is whatever you set it up to be during the installation process.

Hope this helps.

Thanks. Root and blank password worked! Using my database services now.

Solved.

Glad to hear it worked. Don't forget to change your root password to something secure.
