By default MySQL creates only the root account with no password. Use "mysql -u root". Before that, create a root password using "mysqladmin -u root password <password_goes_here>" Then use "mysql -u root -p " to access the service. It is always better to set a strong root password, even if it is not a production system. -- Salvadesswaran Srinivasan http://www.twitter.com/salva_eswar http://queasyquagmire.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
