Hi All - I just set up MySQL for the first time and cannot seem to change
the user 'root' password using mysqladmin. I must be geting the sytax wrong.
Im typing 'bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password', then it prompts me for a
password, i type one in, then it gives me an error as shown below:
[root@24-168-90-77 mysql]# bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password
Enter password:
bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)'
Not sure if i should be actually typing in the word 'password' or not, dont
believe there is one set already since i just installed. Using binary for
i386Linux on RH7.1, tared version 3.23.37. I sincerely appreciate any
help.jason
