the question is: how do I set the root password on mysql?  this is a 
first step in getting phpbb3 up.   i have other CMS tools installed 
on aristotle, m jail where my webserver runs.

this failed:


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


according to my logs it has been about 5 years since i did this last.

advice please!

gary
