Hi all, Yet another 3am night and I still can't get my MySql to work. I installed MySql on a cobalt Raq 4 server running Linux. I can telnet into the mysql directory, but can not seem to change the root pass. I've searched every place except the one that as the answer to my question. What am I doing wrong. Below is the session if you can help.
[admin admin]$ mysql Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 16 to server version: 3.23.37 Type 'help;' or '\h' for help.
