Hellow, I am a newcomer to mysql and have installed my php and apache perfectly fine, and followed all directions in a book "PHP Programming with MySQL by Don Gosselin.". However, when I try to do this "mysqladmin version" to test to see if it works, I get this error:
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password : NO)'.
The particular book I am following is for version 4.2, however I am using version 5? Is there extra stuff I need to do to configure it because of that?

I am just a beginner to this, not to all programming but to this, and I have no idea what I could be doing wrong. Can someone please try to tell me potential causes to my troubles? Any setting or configuration, any relevant knowledge, could help me. I truly am using this for my first time and have no clue where to start solving this problem.
