Ok, this worked... My question is that is the password for 'root'
supposed to
match the sudo password used to grant super priveleges to the bash user?
I purposely wanted this different and changed my root password on
mysqladmin
to something else... Is it supposed to be the same as the root's
system password?
Kindest regards,
Unnsse

First, you need to supply your existing password to mysqladmin so
that it
knows that you areauthorized to perform the admin action.
Otherwise, anyone
could change passwords, without knowing the original password.
try this:
mysqladmin -u <user> -p <existing password> password <new_password>
That works for me on mysql 4.1.3 on solaris, should be the same for
you.

Hello again,
I am using OS X Tiger and MySQL 5...
Set a password, yesterday, and wish to change it....
How would I go about doing this?
I tried do this:
untz$ mysqladmin -u root password dolphin
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password:
NO)'
dolphin was supposed to be the new password....
If my user name is untz, am I supposed to do this:
untz$ mysqladmin -u untz passwordThatIWantSet
Will this set passwordThatIWantSet to the user untz?
What am I doing wrong?
Any suggestions, tips, and hints will be mostly appreciated.....
Kindest regards,
Unnsse
