ORBIT-USER: how to change password?

[Sangho Oh]

Hi,
I still can't change the passwd using /usr/bin/passwd.
I have changed it through the method Ergin taught me.

However,

I can't access the database
/
sangho at console.sb7:~$ mysql -h idb1 -u orbit -p
Enter password:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 
'orbit'@'consolec.sb7.orbit-lab.org' (using password: YES)
/
Can you help me?
