I am on the step..... mysqladmin -u root password yourrootsqlpassword mysqladmin -h server1.example.com -u root password yourrootsqlpassword The second line I changed to include my server name.... mysqladmin -h server1.1millionbc.com -u root password yourrootsqlpassword And I tried changing yourrootsqlpassword to my root password on both lines but still I get errors.... mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)' and for the second line the curser just sits there blinking with out the directoy prompt and if I hit enter the cuser moves to the next line and nothing else.... also the prompt says ..... [root@server1 ~]# Can anyone help? Thanks!
maybe your mysql server has already a password. Are you able to connect to mysql with: mysql -u root -p and entering your root (shell) password?
