John, I assume you are not talking about MySQL root. MySQL, as well as many other database, has its own user management system, which is confusing to new MySQL admins. If I am correct, your problem has nothing to do with MySQL. You just need to set root password for the OS. I do not know the instructions you mentioned. The ones that should work are in http://macosx.org/rootpass.html. After this, follow the instructions. -- Linux and GIS enthusiast -- BABA Yoshihiko System Development and Measurement KMOC Daido Information Technology T +81 (0)3 3316 8321 F +81 (0)3 3316 5252 ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
