Did you set up the database with the scripts/mysql_install_db command?

>Description
I have installed MySql version 3.23.33-1 using the RPM's for Redhat
Linux -i386 (RedHat version 7)
After installing I find myself unable to do any basic db
administration including changing the password.
I simply installed the packages with rpm -i <package name> and the
mysqld was started for me with
default settings. When I tried to change the password with
mysqladmin -u root -p password <new password>
I get the following error:
error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)'
When I try to create a database with mysqladmin -u root create testdb I
get:
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)'
Upon doing the ps command I can see that I have three instances of
mysqld running -
I am rather new to databases so I'm not sure where to go from here.
Any help would be very much appreciated
