The syntax of the command for changing the password of a MySQL user via MySQLAdmin in the 'Note' box in section 2.3.4 is incorrect and must be revised.

The correct syntax is as follows:

# mysqladmin -u root -pOLDPASS password NEWPASS

There should be no space in between the '-p' option and 'OLDPASS', and 'password' must be added.

This issue is also present in the Proof of Concept (GSG) guide, in section 6.2, where it must also be addressed.
