/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql -u root
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or g.
Your MySQL connection id is 3

Type ‘help;’ or ‘h’ for help. Type ‘c’ to clear the current input statement.

mysql> UPDATE user SET password=PASSWORD(‘root’) WHERE user=”root”;
ERROR 1046 (3D000): No database selected
mysql> show databases
->

… I still really don’t know whats going on here..

I also tried

mysql> -u root password root
->

However i still get “Error: Could not connect to MySQL server!” when I try to open the MAMP start page… It would help if i understood what the problem actually was but im lost
