Re: Problem creating root password MySQL in FC6

["John Pierce" <john.j35@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hands down the fastest way to set a root password for a newly
initialized mysql db:

$ mysql -u root
set password for root@localhost = password('CHANGEME');
flush privileges;
quit;

Now, log on as:

mysql -u root -p

And you will be prompted for the password that you just set.
