    Hi guys,

    I have the follwing problem or courious thing on my server.
    I was installing fedoracore 5 on my Server and during the ispconfig process (setting a mysql oasswrod) I got these messages:

    command:
    mysqladmin -u root password <mypassword>

    Message:
    mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
    error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'

    I already figured out that I already set a password. After that I was able to change the password with this command:
    mysqladmin -u root -p<mypassw> password <mynewpassw>
    So I know my password.

    Here is the thing. I am also using Webmin for configurating my server and there I can log to the mysql database with my password.
    But when I am typing in my terminal:
    mysqladmin -u root password <mypassword>
    I get the same Message as above.
    Does anybody know what's going on here?

    THX for your Help Gomanza

    Hi Gomanza,

    Not sure if this will work but try just using this command at the command line:
    mysql -u root password -h localhost -p<yourpassword>

    this works for me I believe it will work for you!
