so root already has a password? ( the prompt "#" indicates root). > tried: > # mysqladmin -u root version > and got the sam error message which was the same as "mysqladmin version" since you *were* root. > tried assign password: > # mysqladmin -u root password 'MyPass' > and got the same error message So root already had a password and you cannot logon w/o the password. # mysqladmin -u root -p password 'MyPass' and tty will ask you for the password, but, it will not by 'MyPass' (I don't think).
