I have a problem that I think it is something easy.

I want to connect to mysql database.

If I do the following:

mysql -uroot -premoved mydatabase
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

But if I do:

mysql -uroot -p mydatabase
Enter password: removed
mysql>

It works!!
Why?

    You need single quotes around your password.

    mysql -uroot '-pabc$def' mydatabase

    See mysql password is messing up my dump for reference.
