According to 1and1's FAQ:
How to import a database (dump)?




To import a MySQL dump, first upload the dump file to your web space via FTP.
Once the file is in your webspace, please log into your shell account via SSH and
run this command:

myShell:~ > mysql -h dbxx.perfora.net -u dboxxxxxxxx -p dbxxxxxxxx < dump_file.sql
Enter password:
mysql>

Please replace this information with the MySQL login data shown in your Control
Panel.

I do this, and i get the password prompt. I then try to enter the password for the database and it tells me "ERROR 1045: Access denied for user". I tried my master password as well. What password am I supposed to be using?

Please help, this is really frusterating!

Thanks,

Beau
