I am new to MySQL. My issue is, is that after typing mysql -proot in the terminal I am receiving this error:

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

I don't know what i am doing wrong. I did create a password. However I don't really know how to put it in, in combo with this command.

I am using CentOS 6 on my server

It's a typo on the syntax. You need a space between proot. It should be

mysql -p root

instead of

mysql -proot

mysql -proot this command is telling mysql to use root as the password, which I'm assuming is not the password. You need to put a space between the -p switch and the username to be get the interactive password prompt. 

mysql -p root
