Description Eric Brown 2004-12-09 11:45:51 UTC

it says start mysqld, then run
mysqladmin -u root -h blah password "blah"
mysqladmin -u root password "blah"

but actually you need the second line to use -p since you set a password in the first line.
mysqladmin -u root -p password "blah"

that will fix the problems most users have.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Created attachment 45753 [details]
mysql_install_db

I made the minor change myself, it now has -p on the second mysqladmin line.
