About mySQL and Solaris

The administrator installed mysql on
/import/misc2/mysql-3.22.22/ in Solaris 2.7, however as a user, I experienced the following problem:
> {prompt:3} mysql
> ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'glo@localhost' (Using password: NO)

Then I asked the administrator to run the following command in mysql:
mysql>GRANT ALL ON *.* TO glo@localhost IDENTIFIED BY "password"
WITH GRANT OPTION

However, I experienced the same error message as before. Then the administrator tried to killed the daemon and restart, Finally I ended up with this:
{prompt:4}mysql
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock)
{prompt:5}/import/misc2/mysql-3.22.22/bin/safe_mysqld
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /etc/mysql
mysqld daemon ended

Please Help. Thanks.
