Can you tell me what "(Using password: NO)" means - does it mean that a pass word was not specified? Does "(Using password: YES)" mean that a password w as specified? Other???

it means it attempted to login without using a password (..word: NO) and the mysql server did not allow it. you can recreate it from the command line like such.

$ mysql -u root ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)
