mysql Access denied for user ‘root’@’localhost’ (using password: YES)解决方法

今天在启动mysql时出现以下问题：

[root@www ~]# mysql -u root -p
Enter password: 
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

网上的答案是各种各样的，最终解决问题的方法总结为以下，好多都是没有设置初始密码造成此问题的。

解决方法如下：

[root@www ~]# service mysqld stop   #先关闭mysql服务
Stopping mysqld:                      [ OK ]
[root@www ~]# mysql
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
[root@www ~]# mysql -u root -p      #关闭服务后又出现如下问题
Enter password: 
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
[root@www ~]# mysql -u root mysql    #键入此命令进入mysql
