Change root password in MySQL
Needed to set a MySQL root password. Found this article which suggested a way when no password is yet configured:
mysqladmin -u root password NEWPASSWORD
And a way when a password is already configured:
mysqladmin -u root -p'oldpassword' password newpass
Note: you use ‘mysqladmin’ not ‘mysql’.
