I typed './mysqladmin -u root -p password <my new password>' and this came up, ideas on what I could do to solve this problem that I'm having? By the way, I'm using the MySQL 3.23
./mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists!
