After I installed the MySQL server from a directory on my hardisk, by typing

rpm -ivh MySQL-3.22.19a-1.i386.rpm

I am asked set a password for MySQL root user.

However when I run the command:

mysqladmin -u root password <my password>

I get the following error,

mysqladmin: connect to server at 'local host' failed.

error: 'Access denied for user 'root@localhost' (Using password: No)



Could someone let my know why the error occurs and how to successfully
install MySQL.


thanking you in advance,
