Hi,
All you need is:
/usr/local/mysql-3.23/bin/mysqladmin -p -u root password new_password

Changing new_password to the password of your choice. This will prompt
you to enter in the current MySQL password which is the default for
Raq's as per the pkg.cobalt site.

Hope that helps
(PS: Previous thread with subject of MYSQL explains this also)
