I'm trying to setup a MySQL database on a Ubuntu LAMP server and when I try to change the root password with this:$ mysqladmin -u root password MyPasswordHere, I get this error message:

mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'
