Root user password changing

[tlr7425]

how exactly do I change the Root user's password for mysql?

like this? :

mysqladmin -u root -p'newpasswd' ? (without a space between -p and 'newpasswd' ?)

and, if that is correct, I guess I'd then be presented with a prompt for the old passwd, right?
Then, the new one would take effect?
