[Koha] Unable to login

[ajesh at maxenna.com]

Hi,

 Thanks for the advice. I have dropped the idea of using koha2.2.9 on
windows.

 I am currently trying to install koha3.2.6(which I got on unzipping
koha-latest.tar.gz - a few days back).

I am installing it on Ubuntu OS and hence following the installation steps
mentioned at
    http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Ubuntu

But I am facing issue at the below mySql step 7

*************************************************************************
maxenna at maxenna-rfid:~$ mysqladmin -uroot -ppassword create kohadata
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)'

maxenna at maxenna-rfid:~$ mysql -uroot -ppassword
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using
password: YES)
*************************************************************************

 Searched on web and saw that quite many people has this error, but I
could not find a solution for the same. I also tried to give root
privileges using "sudo -i", but still getting the same error.
***********************************************************************
root at maxenna-rfid:~# mysql -uroot -ppassword
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using
password: YES)
***********************************************************************

 Could somebody suggest a way to get past this error.

2.2.x branch is being updated in any way.  To keep up with bug fixes and
enhancements, you really want to be on the version the Koha community is
contributing to.  If this is a test box you are setting up then you
