Hey Jason, I would recommend checking out http://forums.mysql.com/ for
answers to your question since you are working with windows and not
linux. Probably someone on there has dealt with the same issues you
face, or if not, I'm sure they could be of help!

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
