hello,
i was once a member of this list (along with charlug) but i have no idea why
i all of a suddenly stopped receiving emails.
anyways, hello, im a student at uncc and will be graduating in December if
all goes well.
i am trying to follow a howto on installing an ids called BASE for part of
my senior project. while setting up the mysql server, it would seem i had
mistyped my root password. in trying to fix my problems, i uninstalled it,
and reinstalled it, all the database and user info was the same. i found a
link on mysql's website that tells you how to reset the password, all it
manages to do is cause the terminal to hang, a crtl-c will not kill the
process. to get mysql to restart, i have to restart the whole computer. and
it still wont take my root password. i can log in with my other
user/passwords eg snort
i believe i have deleted the root user.
all i want to do right now is figure out how to remove the whole thing in
its entirety and reinstall it. if i cant do this, im afraid i will have to
reinstall windows just to wipe the database info off the harddrive... i
would REALLY prefer to not do this
it is mysql 5.x and running on windows xp (if i cant make it work on xp, i
am to step up to server, and then to centos, but that wont happen until
monday)
i appreciate any help you gents can provide
Jason
