Im fairly new at mysql at command line level. unfortunately the assignment i have been set means i have to use command line. I am accessing the schools server via PuTTY. log on no problems them type mysql -p, log in fine but then when i go to create the database i get the 1044 error. i have also tried root but no luck either.

Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.

mysql> create database hello;
 ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user '10081552'@'localhost' to database 'hello'

```

I checked the privileges and they seem fine (i think)

```
mysql> show grants;

| Grants for 10081552@localhost                                                                                                            

 GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO '10081552'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '*removed the  hash'                     |

2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql>

```

so I am sure its something I am doing wrong but can anyone tell me why I am unable to create anything. as I said early I am new to command line but not mysql or databases in general.
