Getting mysql to work in Panther

[Daniel Lahey]

I have been trying for months to set up mysql on my Mac (Panther) with 
no success.  I can't run mysqladmin as root. I get an access denied 
error message.  If I try to use SHELL>mysqladmin -u root password 
'password' I get access denied as either root or the regular user.  I 
can't run mysql as root.  'access denied'  I can't create databases.  I 
can run mysql as the regular user and mess with the test db, and that's 
about all I can do.  I've followed every instruction I could find 
online at the command line.  I've tried CocoaMySQL.  I have practically 
resorted to prayer.

Are there step-by-step instructions anywhere?  I would be eternally 
grateful for any help.
