Hi vivek,

when I do #mysqladmin -u root -p[list=1] <NEWPASSWD> i get the following error:

mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)'

I get the above error with password: No also!!

What has happened is this: I run moodle content management server on an FC5 box. Y'day, for some reason I cannot login to moodle anymore, neither as admin or as a student. I assumed mysql tables are corrupted, so, to repair the tables I tried to access mysql. Whenever I do so, I get the above error. Can you help here?

Will post how the squid installation went over the weekend.

Thanks

try with blank password insteed of oldpasswd and delete rest.

try this
#mysqladmin -u root

or mysqladmin -u root -p
it will ask for the password, press only enter key here.


i mean to say that accidently ur password set to blank (Nothing)
