vTiger install mysql admin password change

[PatchDog]

I am tring to change the mysql password on an new vTiger install.

vTigerCRM:~# mysqladmin -u root -p password [I]mynewpassword[/I]
Enter password:[I]admin[/I]
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user [EMAIL="'root'@'localhost'"]'root'@'localhost'[/EMAIL] (using password: YES)'
vTigerCRM:~#

I had the same exact problem on a Joomla install but found out that I was not putting in the full command incorrectly. I cant believe I am making the same mistake twice.

the command is ok and should work.

yah I know but it doesn't. I deleted the template and downloaded a new one and it still does not change the password.

works on all other places, so I cannot help anymore. maybe you should try a GUI for managing mysql, e.g. phpmyadmin

Rebooted server... recreated VM and tried it and it works.

Strange?!?!
