There should be no password for root@localhost initially. Try
$mysqladmin -u root password 'thisIsMyNewPassword'
instead. The password mysqladmin is asking for is the current password.
The one on the command line is the new one. In your situation the current
password is nothing.

Subject: Problem with Mysql
I read the manual plus look on the site. I been having trouble setting up a
password for root.
here's the message i get.
First I run this
$mysql_install_db
$mysqladmin -u root -p password 'newpassword'
Enter password: < I enter the password same as above >
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)'
now can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong. I download the
MySQL-3.23.33-1.i386.rpm
MySQL-bench-3.23.33-1.i386.rpm
MySQL-client-3.23.33-1.i386.rpm
MySQL-devel-3.23.33-1.i386.rpm
MySQL-shared-3.23.33-1.i386.rpm
Thank you for the help
Luis
