 ============
 It is strongly recommended to set a password for the mysql root user (which
-is NOT the same as the "normal" root user) with the command:
- /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'enter-your-good-new-password-here'
-If you already had a password set add " -p " before "-u" to the line above.

+  /usr/bin/mysql -u root -D mysql -e "update user set password=password('new-password') where user='root'"
+  /usr/bin/mysql -u root -e "flush privileges"
+If you already had a password set add "-p" before "-u" to the lines above.
 
 If you are tired to type the password in every time or want to automate your
 scripts you can store it in the file $HOME/.my.cnf. It should be chmod 0600
