MySQL question

I installed MySQL per the instruction on Marc Liyanage's wonderful site and everything seemed to go fine.

I want to create a new database named "BOOKMARKS" so i fire up the mysql app and type the following:
mysql> create database BOOKMARKS;

which returns this error:
ERROR 1044: Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database 'BOOKMARKS'

What am I missing? This looks like a permissions problem in MySQL, but I am not sure how to change them.

Thanks in advance,
leagle

p.s. if you need web hosting, try out forked.net. I signed up with them a few weeks ago and have been very happy.

I sorted it out. Seems I was putting a space between -p and my mysql pw.
