This changes the password to \fInew\-password\fR for the account that you use with \fBmysqladmin\fR for connecting to the server\&. Thus, the next time you invoke \fBmysqladmin\fR (or any other client program) using the same account, you will need to specify the new password\&. .sp If the \fInew\-password\fR value contains spaces or other characters that are special to your command interpreter, you need to enclose it within quotes\&. On Windows, be sure to use double quotes rather than single quotes; single quotes are not stripped from the password, but rather are interpreted as part of the password\&.

No password change will be applied\&. This is true even if you precede the password command with flush\-privileges on the same command line to re\-enable the grant tables because the flush operation occurs after you connect\&. However, you can use \fBmysqladmin flush\-privileges\fR to re\-enable the grant table and then use a separate \fBmysqladmin password\fR command to change the password\&. .sp .5v .RE .RE .sp .RS 4 .ie n \{\ \h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c .\} .el \{\ .sp -1 .IP \(bu 2.3 .\} ping .sp Check whether the server is alive\&.
