Hi,

Hello.

I'm new to mysql and I'm reading a pdf book on how to change the default
password for admin to my own choosing.
The problem is once I do the steps of -password mypass it comes back with
an error message.

Try to do it without a space between -password and mypass. See this example on my computer:
(root@Chris-Garaffas-Computer)(~)$: mysqladmin -u root -p somepass status
Enter password:
mysqladmin: Unknown command: 'somepass'
(root@Chris-Garaffas-Computer)(~)$: mysqladmin -u root -psomepass status
