Establishing Password

[Guest_imported]

I have installed SuSE 7.3. When I first boot it, it gives me this information.

mysqladmin -u root -p password 'new-password'
mysqladmin -u root -h myservername -p password 'new-password'

I think the default password is a NULL.. no matter what I do I can not figure this out.

Say I wanted my password to be bocaburger, exactly what would I type in?

Log into your database with mysql -u root, assuming you are on the localhost, then type:

GRANT ALL ON *.* TO root@localhost identified by 'bocaburger';

That should see you right.
