    replied to Cannot set MYSQL root psw
    in MySQL
    This is a new install, I need to set the password. These are directions to reset a password, which I cannot do since there is no password to reset.

    The documentation I have says the following:

    PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER!
    To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:
    ./bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
    ./bin/mysqladmin -u root -h host password    ...

      Cannot set MYSQL root psw

      I cannot set the root password, this is what happens:

      Code:
      server - me- mysql > ./bin/mysqladmin -u root password xxxxxxx
./bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'
      it's a Solaris 10 server, and I'm new to working on security, so I'm sure it's something simple. A brand new install of MySQL...
