This option tells mysql to prompt you for your MySQL password. For example:
% mysql -h host_name -p -u user_name
Enter password:
When you see the Enter password: prompt, type in your password. (It won't be echoed to the screen, in case someone's looking over your shoulder.) Note that your MySQL password is not necessarily the same as your UNIX or Windows password. If you omit the -p option, mysql assumes you don't need one and doesn't prompt for it.
An alternate form of this option is to specify the password value directly on the command line by typing the option as -pyour_pass (alternate form: --password=your_pass). However, for security reasons, it's best not to do that. For one thing, the password becomes visible to others that way.
If you do decide to specify the password on the command line, note particularly that there is no space between the -p option and the following password value. This behavior of -p is a common point of confusion because it differs from the -h and -u options, which are associated with the word that follows them whether or not there is a space between the option and the word.
