I get the following error when trying to run my app on bluehost:

Host ‘[box137.bluehost.com](http://box137.bluehost.com)’ is blocked because of many connection errors;  
unblock with ‘mysqladmin flush-hosts’

So i attempt to flush hosts:  
shell\> mysqladmin flush-hosts -p  
error: for not having reload granted on the user im logged in as.

So i attempt to add reload to the current user:  
GRANT RELOAD on _._

I correct the syntax using ‘show grants’ as a guide.

grant reload on _._ for ‘[username]’@‘localhost’ identified by password  
‘[password]’

this results in an error 1045 access denied for ‘[username]’@‘localhost’  
(using password yes)

Would appreciate some help with this.
