Try: ./bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'christ1' If this works, the problem was that you were giving the new password (Enter password: *******) when mysql was asking you the old password - if you were changing root password for the first time, root password is empty. -- Diana Soares --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
