I am unable to login in to MYSQL. I get he following errors when running this command: mysqladmin -u root password error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)' prior to running the above command-I was able to set the root password when my hostname file was using the local name (server1) instead of the FDQN server1.example.com. After setting the hostname to match the hostname -f I can now not get in. How do I fix this issue Thanks Happy
if you set a password for root you should also enter that the right way: mysql -u root -p then you will get prompted for the password (and it will not be written to bash's history, in comparison to write the root pw directly in the shellcommand)
