This tutorial explains how you can set, change and reset (if you've forgotten the password) MySQL root passwords. Time and again I see problems like mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)'. So I thought it's time to remind you how to solve MySQL related password problems. If you are just looking for a quick fix how to reset a MySQL root password you can find that at the bottom of this tutorial.

Thanks falko! I just put LAMP in the box so I could help my daughter get Legal Case Management running. http://sourceforge.net/projects/legalcase/

None of you has any ideas how borked things are here. But with help like this article from falko, who knows, my daughter may not have to spend $thousands.00 on proprietary software.
