$ mysqladmin5 -u root password 'xxxxxxxxx' $ Leaving off the -p seems to work. $ ps ax | grep mysql5 60877 ?? Ss 0:00.37 /opt/local/bin/daemondo --label=mysql5 --start-cmd /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5/mysql5.wrapper start ; --stop-cmd /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5/mysql5.wrapper stop ; --restart-cmd /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5/mysql5.wrapper restart ; --pid=none 60887 ??

Yesterday, everything ran exactly as you said it would except for setting the root password, and now the root password appears to be set. Thank you very much. This is a milestone for me.
