I'm trying to change the root password for mysql. This is the first time I've tried to change the password and I can't get it to work. Below is the error message I get:
[root@localhost bin]# ./mysqladmin -u root -p password 'new-password' Enter password: ./mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)' I've looked at the manual and it doesn't say much that I've already done. I've also looked up the --skip-grant-tables but the only mysqld file I have to run is in the /etc/rc.d/init.d/ directory and it doesn't take the --skip-grant-tables flag. So I'm at a lost at what to do next. thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
