mysqld help

If you've set up any hosts in the "hosts" table, then you'll (usually) need to
specify the machine name (otherwise it'll assume "localhost" which might
conflict with the host table).

hence try:
mysqladmin -h myHost -u hostname.domainname.com --password 'password'


That's assuming that "hostname.domainname.com" is a user you've setup with the
corresponding password.

Hope this helps,
Linc
