mysqladmin -u root password mysql
"password" is used to change the password. "-p" is used to log on if a
password has already been set. Don't know exactly what you want to do but
possibly you're looking for
mysqladmin -u root -p password your_new_password
If that doesn't work and you don't know the password, look up skip grants in
the manual.

Subject: access denied problem
Hi,
I just installed Mysql from source for Linux. When I type the following
command:
mysqladmin -u root password mysql
I got this error:
mysqladmin:connect to server@"localhost' failed
error:'access denied for user:'root@localhost'(using password:NO)'
Can some tell me how to correct this problem? Thanks!
