[Koha] mysql password problems during install

Hello All, During the install of Koha 3 on Debian Etch at step 2.1 of the INSTALL.debian.txt document it states: 2.1 Update root MySQL password (if dselect didn't do it for you already) $ sudo mysqladmin password <password> The question is what do you do if dselect already did set a password????? It seems a cache 22 situation to me. Thanks for any assistance you can provide. Adios, Robert
