Setting up mysql without user.frm?!?!

Hey!

I'm trying to password the root account of my mysql database, but it's a no go.. I get the following error:

Cant find file: ./mysql/user.frm (errno: 13): No such file or directory

when trying to run
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'

When you install mysql make sure you run "mysql_install_db":
