Try this :
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password '222222'
The first instance of 'password' is a command.. It doesn't mean you need to
replace it with the password..

Subject: Post-install
Just installed mssql and in the end of the installation I receive the
message taht now is the time to change root password for the db using
mysqladmin using the following synthax:
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password 'new password'
So issued the following command:
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p qazwsx 222222
(qazwsx is my current root password in OS, 222222 is desired password for
sql )
Then I see the prompt:
Enter password: (which password?)
I enter 222222 (I tried qazwsx either)
I receive the error message:
error: Access denied for user 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)'
