You just set the password to your root account to 'password'. This is a common mistake: There is no space between the -p and the password. Right after you have installed MySQL, there is no password so you run: mysqladmin -u root password your?new!password Then to connect to a server: mysql -u root -pyour?new!password db Note: No space after -p. The manual has info if you need help resetting the password. b. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
