password \fInew\-password\fR
.sp
Set a new password\&. 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\&. For example:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
shell> \fBmysqladmin password "my new password"\fR
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE

.if n \{\

.it 1 an-trap
.nr an-no-space-flag 1
.nr an-break-flag 1
.br
.ps +1
\fBCaution\fR
.ps -1
.br
Do not use this command used if the server was started with the
\fB\-\-skip\-grant\-tables\fR
option\&. 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\&.
