take a look @ your /etc/mysql/my.cnf file. there should be a username and randomy generated password specified there that is used by debian package system to upgrade mysql. I forget what type of permissions it has, but you could try logging in as that user and attempting to set the password for the root account. I have no idea if it will work or not..but its something to try. -davidc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
