Thanks for the reply, Tony. OK, I've tried: # mysqladmin -u root -p -password "[password]" I get the "Enter password: " prompt. Then I hit <Return> ...and I get: mysqladmin: Unknown command: "[password]" So, I think there must be more to it than this. I'll take a closer look at the Changelog to try to figure out how the client's default behaviour has changed. (This makes sense because MySQL has been updated since I last installed it.) Thanks again. M. On Wednesday 16 May 2001 13:32, Tony Wells wrote: > They changed the default behavior of the client on MySQL recently.
