At the present time I am using Mandrake 9.0 and installed the MySql programmes that con the three disks:
MySQL-3.23.52-1mdk.i586.rpm* MySQL-bench-3.23.52-1mdk.i586.rpm* MySQL-client-3.23.52-1mdk.i586.rpm* MySQL-Max-3.23.52-1mdk.i586.rpm #mysql_install_db has been run. The last time I did this it said to change the root password in the book I am using: "Sams Teach Yourself MySQL in 21 Days" with the following: #mysqladmin -password newpassword. As the old password is supposed to be empty I used the following on the command line: #mysqladmin -password green but something was not right and later executions it would not accept this password. Any help would be appreciated.
