I just Install MySQL on Mac OS X.

The next step was setting the root user password, do I did the next:
1-Launch the terminal app to access the unix command line.
2-Under the unix prompt I executed the next commands:

madaura$ cd /usr/local/mysql/bin
madaura$ ./mysqladmin -u root password 'password'

But, when I execute the command

madaura$ ./mysql -u root, this is the answer:

I can get in to the mysql command line without password!

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!
