Help: weird cpanel sql problem

[Snowman30]

i have a weird problem on a server that was setup with a fresh install of cpanel today.

I get:

Databases ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES) 0 / unlimited

and

MySQL Disk Usage /usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)' 0.00 Megabytes

in the cpanel.

Im using cpanel x-skin on R117.

any ideas what could be the problem here??? or a way to fix it?

1.Login into your server with ssh
2.prompt# mysql -u root
3.mysql> set password for root=password('yourpass');
4.mysql>\q

5. login into whm,
6. go to "Set MySql Root Password" and setup the password above
(you will get an error)
7. repeat 6 (all should be fine)

I had simular error for a normal user using webscripts but console ok, upgrading to latest cp 6 version seem tocure it

i found it seemed to be a x-skin issue, i loaded a new copy of 1.5 and it works now....

mind you ive had all sorts of weird things happen on this server today

Thanks for the advice
