"#mysqladmin -u root -h localhost password "mysql" mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user: 'root at localhost' (Using password: NO)' # mysqladmin -h localhost password mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user: 'root at localhost' (Using password: NO)' I don't get it, whats happening? Btw im using putty to ssh into the server, could that be a cause?" ==> I'm pretty sure that putty is doing ok. In order to use the mysqladmin commands, you must make a successful authentication with one of the current active accounts. So things should be fine if you would run it like this: #mysqladmin -u root -h localhost password "mysql" -p This will prompt you for the old password and after giving that, it should work ok. Andre
