Nestor,

When I tried this... This is what I got:

mysql> use mysql;
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

Database changed
mysql> delete from user where id='root';
ERROR 1054 (42S22): Unknown column 'id' in 'where clause'
mysql> delete from db where id='root';
ERROR 1054 (42S22): Unknown column 'id' in 'where clause'
mysql> flush priveleges;
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'priveleges' at line 1
mysql>

Thanks again....

There is probably a better way but what I do generally is:
1) log in as root
2) use mysql;
3) delete from user where id='root';
4) delete from db where id='root';
5) grant all on *.* to [EMAIL PROTECTED] identified by'mypassword';
6) flush privileges;
7) flush privileges;
8) flush privileges;
9) On another shell window I will log in into mysql with the new
password to make
    sure that it works.

Hello again,

I am using OS X Tiger and MySQL 5...

Set a password, yesterday, and wish to change it....

How would I go about doing this?

I tried do this:

untz$ mysqladmin -u root password dolphin
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'

dolphin was supposed to be the new password....

If my user name is untz, am I supposed to do this:

untz$ mysqladmin -u untz passwordThatIWantSet

Will this set passwordThatIWantSet to the user untz?

What am I doing wrong?

Any suggestions, tips, and hints will be mostly appreciated.....

Kindest regards,

Unnsse
