How can I set/reset the MySQL root password?

To set it for the first time use:

Code:

$ mysqladmin -u root password <yourpassword>

And of course replace <yourpassword> with the password you wish to use.

To change it use this command:

Code:

$ mysqladmin -u root -p <currentPassword> <NewPassword>
