[Dr. Blunt]

If you have never set a root password for MySQL, the server does not 
require a password at all for connecting as root.
To setup root password for first time, use mysqladmin command at shell 
prompt as follows:

$ mysqladmin -u root password NEWPASSWORD
However, if you want to change (or update) a root password, then you need 
to use following command

$ mysqladmin -u root -p'oldpassword' password newpass

For example, If old password is abc, and set new password to 123456, enter:
$ mysqladmin -u root -p'abc' password '123456'
