Hello manuel, no not exactly, i type all the line :
"/usr/pkg/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password 'new-password'".
i have tryed three times but it's allways the same message.

is the user who type the command must not be root ?
i have tryed with a normal user, but it's the same message.
an other thing very strange, when i start phpmyadmin (i am an normal 
user with  secondary-group wheel) it say's to me :
"Erreur MySQL a répondu : Acces denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using 
password: NO)"
i have tryed your solution but it always print all the possible commands.
is ther an order in the installation of the client and the server ?
Thanks for your answer .
