talen:~ # mysqladmin -u root password foobar mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)'
I did that. I think you have to login again so now try: mysql -u root -p Then enter foobar when it asks for your password and you should see a mysql prompt.
