Some people here very kindly helped me with the installation problem that I
was having yesterday, and today I seem to have run into another problem.
I have been following the manual, and it says that after you have installed
the database, you should change the root password using :
mysqladmin -u root -p password 'new password'
mysqladmin -u root password 'new password'
You need the -p if the password is already set, and you want to change
it.
but when I do this, it gives me the following error :
connect to server at 'localhost' failed, error : access denied for user
root@localhost
I have tried executing this command as different linux users, but I always
get the same error message.
I have also tried specifiying the host with the -h option, but it still
refuses to work :(
Please help!!!
