the error message tells you the problem -

" error: 'Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: NO)'"

mysqladmin -uroot -pmy-password should work for you.

If you are just learning mysql the following website has been unbelievably helpful.

I'm less worried about the ssl problem I've been having then the MySQL settup problem I'm having. I'm trying to get it settup so I can do some experiments and learn how it works.

I'm first trying to set up some users but it fails out right away with access problems:
falcon:/var/www# mysqladmin -u root password 'my-password'
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: NO)'

This works:

falcon:/var/www# mysqlshow -p
Enter password:
