Access denied error 1

[frozenpeas]

I am trying to set my root password and get this:

'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)'

Help will be appreciated... thanks in advance.

If you are setting it with mysqladmin, use this:

mysqladmin -uroot -pOLDPASSWORD password 'NEWPASSWORD'

//Daniel

 

[frozenpeas]

I am using

mysqladmin -uroot -p password 'newpassword'

The password has never been set... this is a new install.

Thanks.

Then use

mysqladmin -uroot password 'newpassword'

//Daniel
