Hi just installed Mysql onto C: in w2k os. used mysqladmin console to choose username: root and password: example.

in mysqladmin i added skip-networking command to my.ini file

when attempting to connect to mysql via command line via:

c:\mysql\bin> mysqladmin -u root -p password

it results in:

mysqladmin: connect to server at 'local host' failed
error: 'access denied for user: 'root@localhost' <using password: YES>'

or

c:\mysql\bin> mysqladmin -password example

it results in:

mysqladmin: connect to server at 'local host' failed
error: 'access denied for user: 'ODBC@localhost' <using password: YES>'

also same error comes up when i attempt to get into root using my password.

can anyone help? i cannot get into my root even though my my.ini file specifies root pword is example

AT :)
