I just installed mysql under my new linux system. I did a test command of
./mysqladmin -u root password new-password thus setting the root users password to "new-password" this appeared to work. I now want to change the root users password now that I have the syntax correct. I do a ./mysqladmin -u root -p password test1 this should set the password to test1 correct ? I get this error ./mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)' can anyone explain why this is happening so that I can better understand how this command is working. Thanks, Matt. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
