[root@localhost <mailto:root@localhost> ~]#

service mysqld start

           Starting MySQL:          [OK]

[root@localhost ~]# mysqladmin -u root password mypassword123

mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed

error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'

First time and completely new in MySQL, did I miss something? Need help.
