I installed mySQL on my raq4 but it doesnt have a password so I cant do anything... Should I uninstall it and reinstall it? I installed it via my browser through the control panel. It always gives me a me a message about a password being required but I dont have one, and It doesnt seem to like my su one :)

Thanks

Justin

Justin, try this:

Login to your machine via telnet.
Su to root.
Type mysqladmin -uroot -pcobalt-mysql password NEW-PASSWORD

(Where NEW-PASSWORD is your actual newpassword). username should be root. All *should* be well.
