Hello,

After succesfully installed MySQL i have to change the password of the administrator. In the user table of the mysql database stands the User 'root' and no password filled in (seems normal to me) For Host i've filled in the localhost plus my domain. (i think thats' all normal, right?)
Alright. When i'm in my telnet session in the mysql dir. i put in the following information:
usr/bin/mysql# mysqladmin -u root password newpassword

(offcourse i use another "newpassword" ;-)

But then i get the following error:

mysqladmin: unable to change password; error: 'parse error near 'password='5da78
03566679478',sql_log_off=0' at line 1'

Can someone help me with this?
Thanks in advance,

Joep
