Actually your command is wrong. If you never set the password before it should be (without the -p): mysqladmin -u root password your?new.password note that 'password' IS the command. > Side Question: How can I allow a SSH connection from a remote machine?

Basically you want to install openssh and run /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd start (on a RH system). And read the man pages about how to limit access. And please direct further questions about ssh elsewhere.
