Having a hard time coming to grips with the password setup for mysql in windows. I follow the instructions below from the documentation.
C:\> C:\mysql\bin\mysql mysql mysql> DELETE FROM user WHERE Host='localhost' AND User=''; mysql> QUIT C:\> C:\mysql\bin\mysqladmin reload C:\> C:\mysql\bin\mysqladmin -u root password your_password All goes well until the last line and In type "mysqladmin -u root password my_password". I get mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)' What is the cause of this and how can I fix it?
