Hi,

I just installed MySQL from RPMs. When I try to connect to the MySQL server and change the root password as the install message tells me it gives me an error:

[serva@bmama serva]$ mysqladmin -u root password passwd2000 mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)' [serva@bmama serva]$

Same error when I try as root (tried with and without quotes):

[root@bmama serva]# mysqladmin password 'passwd2000' mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)' [root@bmama serva]#

RPMs installed:

MySQL-3.22.23b-1.i386.rpm MySQL-client-3.22.23b-1.i386.rpm MySQL-devel-3.22.23b-1.i386.rpm

Probably something very obvious I am missing here, but I can't find it :( Checked the manuals, the readme files. Zip. Nada. Nothing. Any ideas?
