mysqladmin does not prompt for a password if it needs it, you must give it the -p option to make it prompt for a password. If it really needed a password: $ mysqladmin -u root variables would show an access denied error, it wouldn't prompt for a password. So drop the -p option when you try setting the password. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
