Access denied for user 'admin'@'localhost'

[Pepito]

I installed Plesk 9.2 and each time I try to start it I have the below error message. I tried several things, including http://kb.odin.com/article_16_346_en.html

Can somebody help? I am on CentOS 5. Thanks.

If you can't login to Plesk database with

# mysql -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` -D psa

it means that you have incorrect password for admin user in mysql database. In other words password in /etc/psa/.psa.shadow and password for admin user in mysql table are different. In this case you should reset password in mysql and you can find solution in the mentioned KB article or with googling.

You forgot to tell what to do if login through
mysql-uadmin-p `cat / etc / psa / .psa.shadow`-D psa
passes successfully.
