I'd like to run mysqld on my desktop "alfred"

It seems I need to grant permission on alfred
for tim@elizabeth to access the server,
but I have not found how to do this.

I'm running mysqld version 5.0.22 under Fedora-5.

When I try to set the password for user "root" on my desktop
I get the error:
------------------------------------------
[root@alfred tim]# mysqladmin -u root password whatever
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'
------------------------------------------
Another attempt fails:
------------------------------------------
[root@alfred tim]#  mysql -h localhost -u root -p
Enter password:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using
password: YES)
------------------------------------------

Does this mean that "root" already has a password, which I do not know?

Yes it does sound like root already has a password.

You can try reinitializing the mysql tables by running:

/usr/bin/mysql_install_db
