Hi
Thanks for preparing these AMIs.

After starting the instance and logging in via SSH, I tried to run the  
suggested MySQL password update using

  # /usr/mysql/5.0/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password '<MySQL password>'
(with <...> replaced by my new password)

with the result:
Enter password:
/usr/mysql/5.0/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'

top shows mysql is running as expected.


Am I missing something or is there a password already set for the root  
user?
I've installed MySQL many times before (mostly locally) and have  
rechecked the docs - which all state that the initial password is an  
empty string.

Thanks for your help.

Alister.
